Caricature

from Look What's Left by Wampeters

lyrics

when I was born
I was so small
they wheeled me in the carriage
up and down the hospital halls
and they said I was the best
that I was perfect
'cause I was just like all the rest

caricature

and when I was a young boy
going to public school
the teacher said 'hey, boy, what is 2 & 2?'
well, I thought about that some
and I said '4'
and she said 'boy, there's no limit to how far you can go'

and when I left the confines
of my protected world
I found myself engaged
in mortal combat with the world
I went to school to learn to shake the money tree
but now I'm lost at sea

it doesn't matter
let it go

now I'm going out the highway
out Route 29
to see what I can see or find out that I'm blind
I'm going out the byways
where no two are the same
where they don't know my number but they'll know my name

I'm not your caricature
