Devotion?

Lyrics

Shortly after I first met them Something that I said upset them And perhaps we should have parted then I was saying how important That they were, and what a fortune Could be made if they would let me try But I did not understand why They took in and had to stand by Those who were so worthless to them both Then they got extremely angry Shouting that the seedy gang behind them May not have much value in my eyes "But they were people and were needing What we give, and if you see them Like you see some roaches on the floor Well then, the sad one must be you That sees himself as too good to do Something for the weak or ones with warts You disdain and criticize someone Who has been compromised, but You really have no values of your own So maybe you should leave and find some Steal or beg or maybe buy some From a smiling banker or a store." [Refrain] Something's coming, something's coming Something's coming but not real soon Something's coming, something's coming Something's coming but not real soon Something's coming, something's coming Something's coming but not real soon Something's coming, something's coming Something's coming but not real soon Something's coming, something's coming Something's coming but not real soon At first I was too shocked to believe That they'd suggest that I should leave And what was even worse was that I saw That they preferred their gutter rutting Friends above my smugly strutting And I admit it stunned and humbled me So I begged and then beseeched them "Let me stay and you could teach some Sense into this tired old mind of mine." And of course we reconciled with Hugging arms and tugging smiles that Left me more secure, but still in doubt I truly loved and felt devotion For them both, but I was broken Up and feeling powerless inside I must become important to them Intertwined with roots into them Or else I'd lose my false and newfound pride
