Science and Fiction
John J Scudieri ©2003

Troubled child, no sense in making it worse
We've all been dealt a bad hand
It's not like you've been cursed
Take a good look around, we are all clinging to life
Hoping for the best, on guard for the blinding light

Trouble only travels so far
For those who are not content
To live on the scraps of life, and begged opinions
No one knows the right way
In fact, no one knows at all
While we soldier all our energy, we miss the call

Youre older now, so many times and many ways
The science and the fiction, led you astray
Youre only one man, so very kind and very strange
To spend your whole existence deep within the day
You understand the hardest times, the hardest ways
Are touched by all the sweetness
Of the science and the fiction

Trouble steps in quickly as you wait on a missed transition
All the karma you ever wanted
In a fumbled acquisition
You've folded, you're left with nothing
All your secrets have been canned
You've got to think like a hero
To be a decent man

You're older now, so many times and many ways
The science and the fiction, led you astray
You're only one man, so very kind and very strange
To spend your whole existence deep within the day
You understand the hardest times, the hardest ways
Are touched by all the sweetness
Of the science and the fiction
