The Complaint Deptartment Has Moved To An Undisclosed Location

The Complaint Deptartment Has Moved To An Undisclosed Location

A Poem by icelandicblue

Mamma told me not to be a damn fool
not to drop out of school just follow the
rules.

Mama told me not to stare at the sun
not to go on the run with that punk with
the gun.

But I didn't listen, not one little bit
I just wouldn't submit till I got sick of this
s**t.

Went and got my college degree
My mamma agrees that I'm back being
me.

Had a wedding, was a beautiful bride
live in a subdivide on the east
side.

But karma she is one funny b***h
there's always a glitch, I had birthed me a
witch.

Daughter i told her not to be a damn fool
not to drop out of school just follow the
rules.

Daughter I told her not to stare at the sun
not to go on the run with that punk with
the gun.

I figured eventually she would astound
and slow the hell down, and find higher
ground.

So if you are living your life in the fast lane
feeling no pain, when it happens to you just don't
complain.
