"The Key"
I was walking around and I saw a key
But a voice said “Let it be.”
I go to school and think and think
And a girl gives me a wink
I leave school to find the key
But the voice says “Let it be”
I said voice you’re dumb
Quit being a bum
But the voice says “Let it be
I’m telling you
If you don’t you’ll be a buffoon
I say “I don’t care”
“The key looks nice,
It’s made of diamonds
&
Golden Rice”
I take the key and put it on my neck
&
Take myself straight to bed
I have an infection the very next night
And look like some hairy mice
I take some ointment and put it on my neck
&
There is nothing else to be said
I don’t wake up the very next morning
But my spirit is still alive
I see my family crying
As they say their final goodbye’s
I should have listened to the voice
Going on inside my head
But I didn’t and now
I am surely dead
