I Have Seen Your Downcast Eyes

I have seen your downcast eyes. I’ve heard your woeful lies.

I’ve listened to your sad cries and determined that they’re lies.

Is it your background, poverty or laziness that’s killed love?

Do you have no desire to fix your life, no plans to improve?

Stand up kid, become a man! Get yourself a job and a home!

Do it now, do it well, then find a wife and swear to not roam.

The improvements you find each day will your marriage bind

The love, content; the happiness you want you’ll finally find.
