Wasted Boy

play it cool like you're not out of work
even though they always expect the worst
at least since you skipped that report
the time that you slid by with a "d"
remember how you told your friends
how none of them had compassion
all they had was what they saw
and all they saw was all your flaws
they would testify to how this is all your fault
this mess you're in
that since you were children
you fell short of every assignment
and missed the mark so far as refinement
and never paid your boy scout dues
any idiot could have collected the clues
and closed the case by now
you've lost you're job
what else is new
that's as certain a situation
as the sky is blue
we can't defend such defenseless
there's a point after which no one can
and no longer can we stand for this
there's a few things i've been meaning to tell you
a few points i've been needing to make
every bridge you burn makes you guilty of arson
even if it's for old times sake
you are an absolute dillusion
a matter of confusion
but the facts are clear
you've disappointed everyone here
to the point that no expectations exist
you're potential for disaster is limitless
and it's hopeless
