54-40 - Lost & Lazy lyrics

Mother, is this my gift flowing in nature? Like the Buddha accepting the term This is destruction, theory creation And the people watch what they want I thank you but I'm well enough by now And though I'd like to change into someone better Someone, mother, would never know And this is mutation, self mutilation And the purge of love, it costs too much Thank you but I'm well enough I know I say I'm lost 'cause I'm lazy Say I'm caught but I'm not It's an excuse, not even my own I picked it up to be left alone And now I'm in the presence, the greatest indifference Being wise, being old They can find you out when you get to loud And you start to weep for love and peace I thank you but I'm well enough I know I say I'm lost and I maybe I say I'm caught but I'm not It's an excuse, not even my own Picked it up to be left alone I say I'm lost and I maybe Say I'm caught but I'm not It's an excuse, not even the truth I picked it up to get away from you
