Jack Lyrics

Jack wanted to fly

He dreamed of spreading his wings

At school he was doing all right

Life will be good to him, it seems

Mom was busy in town

Dad, busy being frowned upon

Gramps just kept him around

Life caught him with the pants down!

When you feel alone

When you're, like, cracking inside

When you pretend all is well

When you can tell the truth from a lie

When everything crumbles

And it isn't up to you

You raise your head begging

And asking what to do

Once he turned back, as a child in time, to find

How he used to think, how he used that peace of mind

Warm summers gently touching the skin

His dog by his side and hope coming from within

Row, row, row your boat

Gently, gently, down the stream

Merrily, merrily, merrily, yeah

Life is just a dream

With people he's polite and nice

He never gets it, but he smiles

At times dissent flares in his eyes

But soon he bends down then he complies

He's calculating

He's concentrating

He's estimating

He's approximating

Every day you squeeze your sphincter

And you try to survive

Every day you have to hold your breath

And hope you'll be all right

Cold shouldered, or at most a tap on the back

Giving him the finger

Well, that's the life of Jack

Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack

Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack
