Analysis of Never Lend



I'm saving for the least important things
and haven't got a clue
While living for the things more shallow
and hoping to find new

I've taken more vacations now
than any point of view
and haven't got an inkling
as to how I'm going to do

I question why so many fight
for what is best for you
When peace means leaving things alone
will never be at due

I travel round the world cause
to help the kangaroo
Ignoring all the people drunk
I party with for two

I take myself as loyal
for the people nice to coo
And wonder what I'd do without
their love to keep me mew

I only hope the day will come
when everyone has fun
And worry that my life's run down
when others spoil my run

I hope and pray like all the rest
that never seem to end
That I one day will stop and say
exaustion's never lend
