Human Shield

from Obviously by Bob Gaulke

/

lyrics

between you and me
there's a third thing
molded in the shape of the world

we deal with it
when we open the door
and become vertical

I'd be lying if I said
I got a handle on it
I ask friends for help

sometimes I stand right
in front of it
and make myself sick

tell me it's rotten
from top to bottom
corrupt from
pole to pole

justice a flash
of imagination
in eyes of hope
to be born

between you and me
there's something else
coated in the dust of the future

moving faster than
ourselves
swallowing tomorrow

lying if I said it's all good
do my best to make it work

other times I isolate when
it seeps into my pores

with a good night's sleep,
something in my belly

I can almost deal with it
all it throws at me
