Not Even Not Zen 408: Worst in the Field

Worst in the Field

Worst in the field,
Worst in the field,
I’m the worst soul in the field.

Verse 1:

My super power is 
making things awkward.
You don't want me on your side.
My love is just
a drop in the ocean.
I'm not the king of the tide.

Verse 2:

I chop the wood
I carry the water
No wisdom do I gain
You know I'm living
paycheck to paycheck
then I do it all again.

Chorus 1: 

I think and think
But there’s nothing I’m knowing.
I sweat and toil 
but I'm not really growing.
I'm the worst lily in the field.

Verse 3:

I hold your hand
I sweat like I'm bleeding
'Cause I'm a stupid goon
I'm a swamp
I smell like a crayfish
Creature from a lagoon

Verse 4: 

I work a job
But don't really cut it
Learned it yesterday
I don't need to
relearn the lesson 
but I'm doing it today

Chorus 1A: 

I think and think
But there’s nothing I’m knowing.
I sweat and toil 
but I'm not really growing.

Chorus 2: 

I’m a slip 
in the walk of devotion. 
I’m the saltiest drop 
in the ocean.
I'm the worst lily in the field.

Verse 1R:

My super power is 
making things awkward.
You don't want me on your side.
My love is just
a drop in the ocean.
I'm not the king of the tide.

Verse 2R:

I chop the wood
I carry the water
No wisdom do I gain
You know I'm living
paycheck to paycheck
then I do it all again.

Chorus 1: 

I think and think
But there’s nothing I’m knowing.
I sweat and toil 
but I'm not really growing.
I'm the worst lily in the field.

Chorus 2: 

I’m a slip 
in the walk of devotion. 
I’m the saltiest drop 
in the ocean.
I'm the worst lily in the field.

I’m the worst soul in the field. 

I’m the worst lily in the field.
