A Step Ahead Of Fate

I swear I didn't know who you were
When I crossed you
I swear I left it all behind
I swear I didn't hold it all against you
But I just couldn't take it off of my mind
Yes, I'm aware of you
Oh yes, taking care of you
I know now, no one cares for you
Instead, they're all just scared of you
Now say, is this okay with you?
We flinch at everything you do
Tore at me when I said we're through
Small cuts from all the cash you threw
Watch for the things you say - there's
No way I'm gonna stay - don't
Drop down and steal away - I'm
Living
With all the help you gave - oh that's right,
That was nothing - I'm in rags
Stealing money - and
You think it's really funny
And yet I stay
Half awake under vicious clouds
And think
How I could have used you and grown up
By now
You think you're wise
With advice you've never lived
You're still a child
Who plays with real estate and women
Please, it was obvious
Your flaw, it was dangerous
And also obnoxious
You're greedy and lecherous
Don't come to me whining
I've heard this all, surprise me
For once just stop relying
On paper - start surviving
Watch for the things you say - there's
No way I'm gonna stay - don't
Drop down and steal away - I'm
Living
With all the help you gave - oh that's right,
That was nothing - I'm in rags
Stealing money - and
You think it's really funny
