Wishing for Contentment - Andrew Bird

Wishing for contentment, hoping for relentment

venting my resentment on the happy few

Awaiting resolution, and dreams of restitution

finding retribution’s just another thing to do

You’ve got to keep yourself busy, visit Aunt Lizzy

just see how she’s been

But when you’re making a late run

two judgmental matrons retort, see what I mean?

A seeming reprobation, perhaps it’s my vocation

a nauseous elation comes to mind but it fades so soon
