X I Y

X I Y
Got to wipe my feet off, now
Got to kick the shoes.
There's a lot of empties on the ground.
Got to fill some new ones.

I know some day they're gonna exercise a reasonable
amount of strain on my simple way.
A simple lack of feeling ( something.. )
A simple lack of fuel. ( empty.. )
A simple lack of energy to play, ( someway, )
create, and make it through the day.
I know some day they're gonna exercise a reasonable
amount of strain on my simple way.
I know some day they're gonna separate the part of the brain
that can discriminate the friendly from the enemy.
You are the enemy...
There's a lot of bodies on the ground.
I know. I used to be one.
I learned I'm not the kind of guy who'd cheat a friend to make it through the day.
I know some day they're gonna exercise a reasonable
amount of strain on my simple way.
You are the enemy...
