my fightin' weight
used ta' be 178
now i'm 210
too fight
not so slim

when i used ta' dance
& prance
i was thin
back then

now i'm old & grey
what can i say
i be fat
& that be that

wonder
where
i went ta' that

but i can hear
and i see
me

dancin' in a bar room
fat as i can be

but that ain't me

so i guess
or maybe i'll do
the diet thing
guess that'll be my fling

don't get me wrong
don't get me right
it's a song
about a diet

guess i'll try it

might as well
oh hell
what's ta' tell

who know's
what's ta' shows
a skinner me
see

i used ta' be
at a fightin' weight
now you see me
210 is over wait

oh well
oh hell
i'm old
so i been told

but i ain't sold
on this eight
these ponds i hate

so wait & see
the new me

when i'm back
jack
to my fightin' weight
gotta' wait
i know
for the pounds to go

didn't come on quick
won't go away so thick
still i'll like
if i might
see my d**k

quarter pounders
old arounders
old sounders
with their songs

gotta' lose wait
can't hesitate


210 2 185
give me a high
5

least i'll try

goodbye

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
