You can gaze out your window
Get mad and get madder
Throw your hands in the air
Sayin' "What does it matter"
But it don't do no good to get angry
So help me I know.
For a heart stained in anger
Grows weak and grows bitter
You become your own prisoner
As you watch yourself sit there
Wrapped up in a trap
Of your very own chain of sorrows.
Bruised Orange
John Prine.
Sweet dreams Johnny.
