I once fell in love with an arrogant fool
Who thought he could rule the world.
He trained and taught me all that he knew
Until I fit his perfect mold.
One problem that he found
Was my own independent thought
Although he could sway it this way and that
Free will was a gift that the God's had bought.
I broke free from the life that I was doomed to live
With the help of his outcast hand,
Only thing is it doomed me again
To living up to his every demand.
I was not happy and how could I be?
With everything he demanded of me?
I am only human, like everyone else
Instead of living for him, I needed to live for myself.
So, I broke away from his iron fist
As he threatened all those that I loved.
Many years and tears flowed by
And his ghost still haunts my thoughts from above.
Hallow and shallow as I make my way through life
Lost in the memories of the past
Until one day I saw the light
That allowed me to find peace at last.
No religion or God did appear
No new love or new ideals
I realized that life is just all that it is
And with time all things will heal
So in this ode to dear old jack
I wish to say, fuck you
Because I found happiness without his help
And I've found a better man too.
So there it is then, my whimsical shout out to the guy out there who made me the loving person I am..... So with all debts now paid I leave this shout out to you.
jesus christ, it sounds like a childrens book, oh well
Who thought he could rule the world.
He trained and taught me all that he knew
Until I fit his perfect mold.
