The Fool

Sitting in the corner
Of the bathroom at school
I think of how things were
And how we were cool

Smoking in the canyons
Right next to the playground
Ditching the school's minions
And running from their sounds.

Then we stole alcohol
From a parent's liquor store
And I had such a ball
All I wanted was more.

So I drank every day,
And drinking, drinking still
Finally had its way
And bent me to its will.

And now it isn't cool,
Drinking my life away,
I have just played the fool,
Getting drunk every day.
