Living for One...
I want to help everybody,
but I've got issues.
And I'm careful about ladies
getting too close to my igloo.
I'm married, saved -
its hard having a lady friend.
So I help where I can,
but I can't let a lady in.
The men - yeah, maybe them,
but jealousy is prevalent.
Some look at me all wrong,
and think that I'm negligent -
with my wife and daughter.
Yes, I know
there are many veterans,
but if I turn my back
will they start flashing cheddar in
my love's face?
Will they try to chase my name
with debasing statements,
because they lamely think
my lane is vacant?
Few people travel this road
I'm unraveling.
Often times I wonder,
when will the battle end?
Or am I in the war
to see much more
than myself playing the rebel
to settle a few scores?
A lot of fallen soldiers,
and I'm strong enough
to pull some.
But the heat is on,
and I may be able
to only pull one.
but I've got issues.
And I'm careful about ladies
getting too close to my igloo.
I'm married, saved -
its hard having a lady friend.
So I help where I can,
but I can't let a lady in.
The men - yeah, maybe them,
but jealousy is prevalent.
Some look at me all wrong,
and think that I'm negligent -
with my wife and daughter.
Yes, I know

but if I turn my back
will they start flashing cheddar in
my love's face?
Will they try to chase my name

because they lamely think

Often times I wonder,
when will the battle end?
Or am I in the war
to see much more
than myself playing the rebel
to settle a few scores?
A lot of fallen soldiers,
and I'm strong enough
to pull some.
But the heat is on,
and I may be able
to only pull one.
