we couldn't be scary, coming from urban settings
where the wrong words could get you buried

parents couldn't afford college or a funeral
yet definitely sure "the army" will pay for it for you

could of been Norman Bates, yet his Felix Ungar resemblances...
were remembered, what a childhood, had to train to not be your monster.

couldn't be your sponsor, find a soup kitchen
tired of giving the beer money to you,  I should be drinking with

calculating the panhandlers earning potential, then realizing
I'm the one that's overqualified, yet how much is he making?
