Once again, you are right.
Is that what you want to hear?
Since I have no common sense,
You should be my brain, you hear?
Once again, you are right.
I’ve no depth, brains, or talent.
You say, “Don’t bother chasing
Your dream; that won’t be gallant.”
Once again, you are right.
Now there’s a mass consensus
On no matter what I do,
I’m derided or cause fuss.
Once again, you are right.
Because others agree too.
They tell me I’m sewerage
— But wait, does that make it true?
Although you may be “right,”
Opinions of me are slim.
I will not yield to you or
Others but only to Him.
