I know it's most unlikely
I'll quit this damn rat race,
Become a good role model,
Put on a happy face.

I know I should be patient,
Unflappable, urbane,
Serene and understanding,
Too noble to complain.

I know I should stop sinning,
Repent without delay,
Upgrade my disposition,
Prepare for Judgment Day.

I know I should just listen
And never disagree
And act more like the person
I know I'll never be.
