Analysis of I got bored
Jason Marriner 1980 (Pensacola)
The clock's ticking, there's trouble on the way
All will be revealed, in the coming days
What will happen, no one really knows
But I won't be shocked, when people's true colors show
You're in for a surprise, one you never even considered
Not too much longer before the truth is delivered
Some will be awestruck, some will be shocked
Let it be known, any objections will be blocked
Nothing can change that which has been done
Let any who wish to intervene, turn now and run
This is a force that shall not be stopped nor tamed
Any who come with force, shall leave limp, lame
Heed this warning from my lips to your ears
I'll not back down from any who dares interfere
Announcements are coming very soon
Then we'll see who sings a different tune
As long as you're happy, that's what you said
So I'll see who really meant it, and who gets angry instead
But it's of little consequence to myself, nay, to us
Sheep of black wool we are, or so claims the general consensus
Stronger together, our bond forever unbreakable
Two separate lives, drawn together by fate, unshakable
Ridicule will come, feelings hurt, words in anger spoken
Come with it I say, I've experienced worse than your ridicule, my will cannot be broken
In the end of it all, we shall be left together, here we'll stand
Having gone through every trial and tribulation together, hand in hand
Watching those who once were our foes
Turn, about face, and celebrate our embrace, no longer opposed
