Paroles de Rejected Novelist Fails Again

They go ahead and publish any old dross

They turn their nose up at me it was literature's loss

It's amazing you can carry a sledgehammer down the street
Pass parking security without missing a beat

Such a clear blue sky and lunch break is soon

Elevators descend from all those little grey rooms

They'll be coming for me

They'll be coming for me



I read a suicide manual and I picked my doom

I'm following a plan at the strike of noon

The hammer rings the bell on every bonnet and trunk

The crunch of Merc windshields is making me drunk
They're coming for me

I hear them coming for me



I'll fill this stink hole city with a dying scream

I'll haunt the souls of every man who squashed my dream

All the suits and the ties, they're all going to hell

There's a pounding in my head like the liberty bell

It's the steel caps and fists going boom! Boom! Boom!

I hear an ambulance siren coming way too soon

Don't let them come for me

Don't let them rescue me

They're coming for me

It's not supposed to be this way
