Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
People don't realize how true it is
You think it, you believe it, usually that comes true
At least there is no room for fantasy
Some person floats into life and changes it, for example
Some men think: "I am a failure"
So more or less, they can't be more
Some men think "I am not happy here"
So whatever might be in front of them
They won't be happy there, wherever it is
It is, I suppose, the dread and joy of a full self-concept
Different parts come and go but mine remains
I am great, and I am alone
Would I be great if I wasn't alone?
It gets so internalized, man
The best moments at a party
I leave fine, a happy man alone
I fit the world to the notion
Full of success then
And full of unhappiness then
No solution apparent to that
Not in this chapter of life
Well, this is honest and set
I grunted and opposed authority by instinct today
The good and the bad of it
I spent the day alone with art music and art film
I was sick but felt stronger than most men
What will change and make me cheery and glowing again?
I'll do it all myself, sorry I'm not very lucky there
I go off and burn this life for a long time
And again make it so no one means anything
Which is the best advice of everyone pretty much
