Bitter

In the midst of Christmas season, I caught myself singing this song...

~~~~~

I could slip, I could fall
In that mean and awful hall
With the other jealous bitches
And the bitter grumbling men.

I could sneer, I could glare say that
life is so unfair
And the one who made it, made it
`Cuz her breasts were really big.

Well I don't wanna get bitter
I don't wanna turn cruel
I don't wanna get old before I have to.

I could bitch, I could moan
Say I want to be left alone
But that's not really true,
Because I like my time with you.

Till you rant and you rave
Wishing fat folks to their grave
But I feel sorry for them
You say they get what they deserve.

But I don't wanna get bitter
I don't wanna turn cruel
I don't wanna get old before I have to

And I don't wanna get jaded
Petrified and weighted
I don't wanna get bitter like you.

Like you, with the darts in your eyes
Like you, with disdain for mankind
I was charmed, now I wonder.

I don't wanna get bitter
I don't wanna turn cruel
I don't wanna get old before I have to

So I'll smile with the rest
Wishing everyone the best
And know the one who made it,
Made it 'cuz she was actually pretty good.

But I don't wanna get bitter
I don't wanna turn cruel
I don't wanna get old before I have to.

And I don't wanna get jaded
Petrified and weighted
I don't wanna get bitter like you.
