They said to stop and smell the roses so we cut em all and
then forgot them when we left
Knowing how short life is, I ran up my credit, declared
bankruptcy and then walked away
I need to carpe every diem so joyously I graze
myself further into obesity at every meal
As I realize that any day might be my last, I guzzle a
couple extra beers every night
In an effort to meet my potential, I let my wastes fall
wherever I produce them
To save a bit of precious time I toss aside the packaging as
I quickly drive away
Wishing not to waste a single vital minute, she viciously
cell-gossiped as she drove to work
Grabbing life by the horns, we took another vacation with
our 2nd home equity loan
I have set myself a goal of maintaining my instant
gratification, over the long run
Determined not to be ensnared like ordinary people, we
financed new ATVs and jet-skis
In my luxury performance sedan I truly feel in step with the
grand march of life here on earth
Pondering my place in our wondrous panoply, I find the
remote control once again
Striving to center, she purchased fine cosmetics, costly
surgery and an unreal hair color
I financed a lifetime of stirring satisfaction identifying
with my corporate home teams
Seeing that we might as well be comfortable, I bought
another family land barge
In my moments of panic and confusion, jesus is there beside
me, his hand upon my shoulder
Believing the thrifty died rich and the old died emptily, we
resolved to spend it now
Why, with heaven assured for us, we can afford to let
tomorrow take care of itself
Knowing I might not always be there for them, I grant my
children’s every wish, immediately
Since you’re really never sure how long you’ve got, we’ll go
ahead and get supersized once again
I seek a deeper, longer-lasting meaning as I drive blindly
past the homeless every day
Knowing that you only go around one time, I grab passing
pleasures by the armful
I pursue an unspoken long-term goal of simply enjoying each
and every minute as it comes
Hearing of other’s suffering, we determined to grasp as much
as we can just as fast as we can
In the light of world problems far beyond our control, we’ll
just kick it back and relax
We took lessons from other’s early misfortunes and keep our
savings to a minimum
Given the shortness of life, it seems right to get away from
work as often as I can
I could never stand to be 40, so what’s the damn point
learning this useless crap, anyhow?
We wanted it all, so we got a huge house, big-screen TV, ski
boat and a giant RV
I always just had to smile when the Doc told me to start
exercising and lose some weight
We’re going for the gusto and reaching out now for maximum
enjoyment, in our great lust for life
We dine out finely in our new clothes and we usually make
that minimum monthly CC payment
The world is going to shit so we might as well have a good
time for just as long as we can
With those 2nd mortgages, the house was way
underwater so we rightly just walked away from it
I need to go for it while I can still enjoy it, not later on
when I’m doddering and sick
Right
now, my answer to the big questions is to just follow my desires, artificial or
not
