Don’t tell me about the power of now Don’t tell me about the farmer and his plow Don’t tell me what my stars foretell I need to drink from a deeper well Don’t insult my feelings with your inane labels Don’t make my life sound like Aesop’s fables I’m not in the market for what you want to sell I need to drink from a deeper well I’ve heard enough tales of faith and imagination I’ve heard enough about the need for self-examination I’ve heard enough clanging of the same old cowbell I need to drink from a deeper well Sometimes I am amused by your simple allegories Sometimes life doesn’t divide neatly into categories Sometimes life’s answers are not on a carousel I need to drink from a deeper well Frankly, I find your good cheer pestilential Frankly, my dilemmas are quite existential Frankly, I just don’t fit into your clientele I need to drink from a deeper well I’ve learned the lessons that a hard life teaches I’ve no time left for motivational speeches I’ve no penchant for philosophies in a nutshell I need to drink from a deeper well The inspiration I need will not fall from a tree The inspiration I need is not in a book or a movie The inspiration I need lives in my every cell I need to drink from a deeper well
