Just A Todd

JUST A TODD - Written by Carroll Bryant



Nobody cares where you been
Or who you are
It doesn't matter if you're a comet
Or a falling star
You can be straight from the hip
Or completely odd
It doesn't matter (because) you're just a Todd
Take what you want (because) you're just a Todd

You keep getting borrowed or kicked around
They smack you like you're made of stone
The shit supreme rule the Earth but they won't allow
They won't allow you to be alone

Nobody cares where you been
Or who you are
It doesn't matter if you're a comet
Or a falling star
You can be straight from the hip
Or completely odd
It doesn't matter (because) you're just a Todd
Take what you want (because) you're just a Todd

They look at you with hate from narrow eyes
To curse your name like they curse the night
Nothing ventured is nothing lost and nothing gained
That is the madness of their philosophy

Nobody cares where you been
Or who you are
It doesn't matter if you're a comet
Or a falling star
You can be straight from the hip
Or completely odd
It doesn't matter (because) you're just a Todd
Take what you want (because) you're just a Todd

Their flattery is under there
Butterflies floating everywhere
The litany of humility is in what they never say
Longing for the underworld
They don't like you anymore

You keep getting swallowed or passed around
Pushed right out of the picture like a Romeo
The figurines that never move will clearly not allow
Not allow you to heal your soul

Nobody cares where you been
Or who you are
It doesn't matter if you're a comet
Or a falling star
You can be straight from the hip
Or completely odd
It doesn't matter (because) you're just a Todd
Take what you want (because) you're just a Todd
