MALTHUSIAN SECOND HELPINGS

New hope for starving children and it’s so hard to laugh
as the light in your eyes takes a second class trip.
And the light never ends - it just goes on and on.
You can go where you like but it'll still be there after you are gone.

Won't you help me understand the plan
where all your random acts of kindness don’t add up to shit.
And me, I’m on the other side where the angels hide with the chosen few...
which doesn’t include you.

New hope for starving children and it’s so hard to laugh
as the light in your eyes takes a second class trip.

Where I'm meant to be, where I'm meant to be, where I'm meant to be - is where I am now.
