DENIAL IS NOT JUST A RIVER IN EGYPT.


AMOIRE


When He was a beardless youth
He had an imaginary playmate
Who refused to play with him

But now he has a girlfriend
She is his salvation
And the mother of his bastard child at seventeen

He drinks too much because he is depressed
And he is depressed because he drinks too much

But he has played the game
And lived the lie
For so long it has become reality.

As long as he can consume
A six-pac of Bud
With his bud

And as long as he can lay on his back
With his hands folded behind his head
As long as he is done, but does not do
------Then he ain’t
