Crook is an island
You can stay in the same place
but you'll automatically go backwards
because everywhere else is moving forwards
You'll only get the best
if you mix with the rest
You'll get the bottom of the barrel
if you mix with the dregs
If you think you're somebody
Then maybe you are
but then again maybe you're not
because if you were somebody
you wouldn't be living in
such a bad place
You can't reach the station
unless you catch and travel
on life's train
If you give out respect
then you'll get it back
If you piss on life's grave
then you'll never learn
how to properly behave
Life is about grabbing its glass
with both hands
Existence is about following shifting sands
Hindsight is about reality
because of its finality
And by then it's too late
to change plans
