Who were they? Were they ones not to care or
To stop and stare? But they said they were
Never there. Believe it if you like. You could
Even tell them that you ride a bike, but to be
Honest, if it was up to me, I’d tell them to take
A hike.
But do they listen? Do they ever lend a hand?
They May even want to join a band, and wouldn’t
That be grand?
But knowing them, they wouldn’t dare, they’d
Runaway, but would they come back another
Day? We’ll just have to wait and see.
Anyway, I am going – I’m off to meet my friend.
At least he understands, not like those who don’t
Give a damn, even if they had to push a pram.
I’ll have to pop round to tell them that life can
Be really good, but I’d be wasting my time because
I doubt they’d give a dime or anything else that could
Rhyme!
