作曲 : John Carroll/Dave Reminick
What have I done?
It’s right there -
The nightmare.
What have I done?
Why would I do this?
I bet you’re wondering:
Why would I do?
Why would a person make misery for its own sake?
Why would a person make?
And I bet that you’re also wondering:
How can I justify risking all I’ve come by?
And I reply:
I’m a regular guy!
A regular guy.
It’s my business.
Gimme some credit.
Why would I flush,
All that I’ve worked for,
Down the drain so fast?
Why would I let it,
Wash away like the future,
Trickles away to the past?
I left you a present,
And though it’s most unpleasant,
It practically says, “intestinal fortitude.”
I have made-do,
And I concede it’s true.
Made-do,
Because I needed,
To come through for the students who,
Have been repeatedly,
Whined about, maligned, and mistreated.
So how would you suggest they address their distress with less of this messiness?
Well, I guess what they could say:
“You betray us and portray us as entitled teenagers,
Who only remember to tune it at noon or from June to September!”
I condemn the system!
Its anachronistic wisdom!
“Dot your I’s and cross your T’s”
It multiplies!
It’s a disease!
So resist or get off the pot!
Class dismissed while I pop a squat.
I’m not the hero we need or we deserve.
But I’m the hero we’ve got.
I’ll stand and deliver,
If not, I’ll sit and I’ll try.
So who am I?
How do I identify?
A regular guy.
