Don't know what to do, the world is caving in, Want to scream and shout, see it through to the fin But the buggers won't get me down, even when demoted, For the important thing to remember is it's my family I'm devoted. I must leave, and get out, before I forget who I am. The problem is my friends, I still give a damn. Please forgive my strange behaviours, in this here laughing place, One day I will be me again, a laughing jovial face. Until then, please remember who I am for I am struggling.
