Things in life arenât always quite what they seem,
thereâs more than one given angle to any one given scene.
So bear that in mind next time you try to intervene
on any one given angle
to any one given scene.
My nameâs Mark, I go to Uni and College,
donât socialise that much,
I just revise and build knowledge.
At times I find that I become a virtual recluse
and let my belt of interaction hang decisively loose.
But I came here to learn, thatâs the life that I choose
and if people think Iâm boring then they can bring their abuse.
See, a lot of people think Iâm boring and say that maybe Iâm a weirdo and maybe Iâm gay but thatâs cool,
âcause when I get a good job and good pay Iâll get a house for just my brother and me some day.
Thatâs the reason Iâm here,
just to build for my future.
If it means better grades Iâll even sleep with my tutor.
Thingâs in life arenât always quite what they seem,
thereâs more than one given angle to any one given scene.
So bear that in mind next time you try to intervene on any one given angle to any one given scene.
My nameâs Paul, Iâve been a guard for six months and the shop that I guard is better than most dumps and I like it here, my boss is a pro, heâs taught me tricks of the trade other guards wouldnât know. Heâs taught me in this game thereâs some rules you gotta bend and not to forget these thieving pricks ainât your friends and appearance is key thereâs a message to send and above all itâs your fellow guards to defend. Today my boss was stabbed by some low-life psycho, Heâs in hospital now so every night thatâs where I go, heâs on the brink but heâs showing no fear though âcause if he dies there, heâll be dying a hero.
Things in life arenât always quite what they seem, thereâs more than one given angle to any one given scene. So bear that in mind next time you try to intervene on any one given angle to any one given scene.
My nameâs Keith, I ainât so much a racist. But if one reached out their hand I'd decline their embrace. I work security in a shop, in charge of 5 other guards, I got all their respect âcause I run this shit hard. I nicked one kid today, didnât show enough respect and attention. I grabbed him by his neck as my form of redemption. Didnât do no harm, just made sure that it hurt, it ainât going by the book but believe me it works. Then I sent him on his way, this little shit knows the score now. I saw a little bit of fear, he wonât darken my door now. Thatâs what I do, stop these kids from decline, do what their parents wonât do. Put down some boundaries and lines.
Things in life arenât always quite what they seem, thereâs more than one given angle to any one given scene. So bear that in mind next time you try to intervene on any one given angle to any one given scene.
My nameâs Billy. Iâve been beaten since I was three, Mum died when I was born and Dad takes it out on me. He ainât a bad man, He just gets drunk and feels alone, I tend to go for walks and hope heâs asleep when I get home. Donât like to talk about it though. As I said, it ainât his fault, it only happens when heâs drunk as a last resort. Wanted to get him a gift, to show my support, but had no money and I stole and I guess I got caught. At times like that, I tend to switch of my mind, stare blankly into space and let what happens unwind. I seemed to anger this guard, he put his hands around my neck, he said itâs time for me to learn some manners and respect. It hurt. But Iâve had worse before, it made me realise life is just a series of wars. I went straight home that day and locked the bathroom door. Took a blade to both wrists, they wonât hurt me no more.
Things in life arenât always quite what they seem, thereâs more than one given angle to any one given scene. So bear that in mind next time you try to intervene on any one given angle to any one given scene.
My nameâs Mark and today I was told my brother is dead. I returned home from university, tears on his bed. On his pillow I found his suicide note and read what had happened that day and what had fucked up his head! The anger I felt there are no words to express, I filled with so much rage there is no way to digest. I grabbed a knife, I went to town, it was time to regress. Back to an eye for an eye, last breath for last breath. I went straight up to the counter, I said Iâd like to speak to the guard who nicked my brother on Tuesday of this week. As the girl knocked on the door and disappeared out of sight, I put my hand in my pocket, gripped the knife tight. This was it, as she pointed me out to the guard, My hand began to shake I held the knife so hard. As he approached me, there was nothing to say. I stabbed that Fucker eight times, before they could take me away.
Things in life arenât always quite what they seem, thereâs more than one given angle to any one given scene. So bear that in mind next time you try to intervene on any one given angle to any one given scene.
