Bread And Butter

by Richard Dames (Endless Naps)

Verse:

I will break the world apart

Just to take it all to heart

I have seen those clouded skies

As obscene as doubted highs

I am the pain feed cynic

Born from a brain dead gimmick

I am the epiphany

Of those without sympathy

Those who are not the nicest

Because when life entices

That often leads to crisis

Misguiding all that’s righteous

So this story, I’ve told it

But never sugar coated

Chorus:

This is the bread and butter 

Of those bred in the gutter

It is a show without frills

Where all people know are skills

This is the bread and butter

Of those bred in the gutter

Verse:

I will break the world apart

Just to take it all to heart

And play these cards so correct

Just as they are in the deck

They say cause of the sun’s rays

I know how every gun sprays

Or I belong with Uncle Tom

‘Cause my norm ain’t on CD-Rom 

Votes for stations on the roof

None for nations in the booth

Every American idol

Is an American idle

But this story, I’ve told it

And never sugar coated

Chorus:

This is the bread and butter 

Of those bred in the gutter

It is a show without frills

Where all people know are skills

This is the bread and butter

Of those bred in the gutter

Verse:

I will break the world apart

Just to take, it all to heart

These remains look so worthless

But my brain can converts this

With the help of a ball point

I build from every small joint

Till the coward in a fellow

Burns with an empowered yellow

Mixed with the feelings so blue

That only green ever comes through

The once closed door in now open

And now everyone wants what’s broken

So this story I’ve told it

But never sugar coated

Chorus:

This is the bread and butter 

Of those bred in the gutter

It is a show without frills

Where all people know are skills

This is the bread and butter

Of those bred in the gutter
