Your Movie

He spends his whole work day unmanned and unnerved
Goes out every night for the fun he deserves
Nine times out of ten he is way over-served
And then he begins to declaim
Of conspiracies, “fake news,” and blame
And I say…

I don’t want to be in your movie today
It’s a role I’m not prepared to play
Don’t want to be in your movie today

Coyote, there is just no comprehending
These metaphors you’re trying to put in play
And when I start to feel my patience ending
That’s when I know it’s time to step away

You run with these preposterous assumptions
Demanding I believe it ‘cause you say
But I prefer to trust my higher functions
And focus on reality today

I don’t want to be in your movie today
It’s a role I’m not prepared to play
Don’t want to be in your movie today

Your natterings evince no introspection
I find that there’s no reason in your rhyme
And standing here reflecting your projections
Is not the way I choose to spend my time

I don’t want to be in your movie today
It’s a role I’m not prepared to play
Don’t want to be in your movie today
