my brain sits on top of its stalk
it helps me eat and breathe and talk
it’s pretty cool, has lotsa talents
but what it lacks is a sense of a balance

life jogs on from day to day
in more or less the same old way
my brain thinks it’s mostly bearable
then flips and says the whole thing’s terrible

make your mind up spongy dude
you drive me crazy with your moods
why’d you have to be so changeable?
(if I’d kept the receipt you’d be exchangeable)

are brains a miracle of evolution?
sorry – I’ve come to a different conclusion
my brain’s dodgy, I’m afraid that’s that
but at least it’s somewhere to put my hat
