The Security Guard

Nicolas Simpson 1983 (Illinois)



Too young to tell,
Too old to yell,
Keeping the peace quiet,
Holding back the riot,
Ease peace in my mind,
And leaving thoughts behind,
You can barely hear me,
Look into my eyes you will see,
The power of mind reading,
And mother's breast feeding,
Treating them like their human,
Feeling like a real man,
Take control of your life,
You can cut the tension with a knife,
Cutting it real smooth,
Sitting here in a booth,
Watching people come and go,
There's a lot of people I know,
Taking laps and around,
Controlling the people from the ground,
Keeping my mouth shut and doing my job,
Not becoming a slob,
Doing my job to the end of the day...
