The Last Quarter

Deep inside their armored vaults they
keep your pathologic faults
"I know, I know"
It's hard to know your body when you
don't know where it starts and the drugs end
"I know, I know"

He came on late in the last quarter
Did it for the sons and the daughters
If I prayed I'd pray for order
Or at least just one more day

I carry on.
I wear clean shirts.
I want to cry so much it hurts
"I know, I know"
