I'm a self defeating monologue

I'm a blacksmith with tinitus    
and a fire fighter with bronchitis,    
I'm a hockey player with no sweat glands    
and a consvertive working a news stand,    
I'm a self defeating monologue      
I'm an agoraphobic demagogue.      
   
I'm a schoolbus with no children    
and I'm a synt popper thinking he's still "in",    
I'm like a sawmill in a suburb    
and a shepard missing a sheep herd.      
Im a street light shining in day light    
I’m a white dove stuck in a bar fight    
   
I’m a duck stuck in a swan pond  
And I'm the forgotten brother of james bond
Im a black bear in the arctic  
And I'm a bolshevik who lives in the baltics  
I'm like a drawer that's never been opened  
And a violist whose bow is broken  
   
I'm a punk rocker in the sixties  
An expecting father stuck in a ski lift  
I'm Stevie Wonder with no hearing  
and a teenage girl who ain't allowed earrings  
I’m all these things, no exception  
Im the past, the future the present.  
   
   
   
All these things that I'd like to say to you    
but I won't cause you don't want me to,    
I wouldn't cause you won't know what just to make of it    
but lord knows I sure wish that you did.
