How do you feel?
Will man eventually treat everything as goods?
will someday society let us barter our moods?
you can borrow my optimism for so much a day,
or sell me your sadness, I'll take it away.
cheap smiles from those who like to frown,
overdose on energy for a night on the town.
need extra tears when you don't feel like crying?
a little more compassion for a friend that's dying?
hey officer, that man, he stole my heart-
ransacked my feelings and tore them apart.
I was counting on my love to pay the rent,
You see my gumption's gone, and my wit is spent.
how will I live, I would normally fear,
but that's leased out for more than a year.
mom's already slipped me her initiative twice,
until next September, dad won't be nice.
who do I know that I can deceive?
an easy mark wearing his heart on his sleeve?
I'm so confused, I can't tell what's real
hey buddy, how do you feel?
