Is it not thy head
that keeps us in or out
of the red
Seemingly more in instead
Motivated by outside voices
influencing the wrong choices
Should we not all take
psychology courses
You would think
that we would want to be
our own shrink
instead many chose the
alcoholic drink
They get into the jug
then try to sweep problems
under the rug
Some even do the drug
too tight of a hug
until their grave is dug
then they belong to the bug

We walk the mean streets
sometimes meaner sleeps right
under our own sheets
each and everyday it greets
At times we complain about
the world outside
when the true problems live
right inside
Inside our homes
the monster roams

We might be the monster
or someone else there living
who isn't very loving and forgiving
The world is all wrong
is the favorite song
Should not a person correct his
world inside
before complaining and trying
to correct the world outside
So goes the slip and slide
on the merry-go-round ride
