There's little in taking or giving<br />There's little in water or wine<br />This living, this living , this living<br />was never a project of mine.<br />Oh, hard is the struggle, and sparse is<br />the gain of the one at the top<br />for art is a form of catharsis<br />and love is a permanent flop<br />and work is the province of cattle<br />and rest's for a clam in a shell<br />so I'm thinking of throwing the battle<br />would you kindly direct me to hell?
