William Finn - Trina's Song lyrics

TRINA I'm tired of all the happy men who rule the world They grow - of that I'm sure They grow - but don't mature I'd like the chance to hide in that world I'm listening As these men who aren't quite men yet, but aren't boys Make noise, and throw their knives; Their toys are people's lives They fight too hard And play too rough They sometimes love, but not enough My heart will beat at will, but still... It's crazy how they're acting And it's crazy my response It's stupid how I love them So dumb, how I anticipate their wants But, so long as they amuse me That, alone is what's required So I'll roar Like I'm wired I'll explore what I'm feeling Except what I'm feeling Is tired I'm tired So tired of all the happy men who rule the world Happy, frightened men who rule the world Stupid, charming men Silly, childish jerks That said, I'll be his wife I'll wed and change my life I'll laugh, I'll smile, I'll welcome cheer The time is right, the men are near Now happiness and love appear
