Broken Teacups

ii. world's in p i e c e s

the world is in pieces

and everything's falling apart

people say all sorts of things

but nothing's from the heart

your neighbour's garden is wrecked

the blame is on your dog

your second hand car is broken

and you're failing at your job

money's spent right and left

far faster than it's made

dues are piling up

but none of them are paid

family's fighting wars

relationship's almost over

friendship's in the trash can

as you wish for a four-leaved clover

you can't pay your rent

you're being thrown out of your house

you finally find another one

inhabited by the family of a mouse

you got nowhere to sleep

no more tears to shed either

you don't wanna be weak

but you can't be tough either

got arrested for not paying taxes

and an empty stomach during lunch

wishing you could at least buy some candy

or something you could munch

life feels like hell

nothing's going right

you can't help but get angry

and break your nose in a fight

hospitals are expensive

your kid's toys are too

you don't have a home

so you find one in a loo

and just when you think

things might finally get better

you're hit with an illness

due to the bad weather

you got your hopes up

only to have them crash down

i'm sorry but it seems like life

is simply full of frowns

the world is in pieces

and everything's falling apart

people say all sorts of things

but nothing's from the heart
