Tsundoku - Tellison

Set yourself a little task

See if you pass it

Seems like if you’ve got a brain

You’ll be unsatisfied

What good’s sensitivity

If you’re constantly set upon?

What good’s sensitivity

If it makes you lonesome

And unsatisfied?

My imagination made me sad

Where is all the good that they talk about?

They said if I work real hard I’d be

They said if I work real hard I’d be

They said if I work real hard I’d be

Happy

Tsundoku they said you were the one

Joked I’d save on my heating bill

So I became a literal anchorite

And I bought insulation

Now I’ve got certificates

Now I’ve got a gown and some fur

I’ve been making paper all my life

But I ain’t feeling satisfied

Or warm

My imagination left me cold

Where is all the good that I was told about?

They said if I work real hard I’d be

They said if I sacrificed to thee

They said if I tried and tried and tried I might be

Happy

My imagination made me sad

Where is all the good that they talk about?

They said if I work real hard I’d be

They said if I work real hard I’d be

They said if I tried and tried I’d be

Happy

Set yourself a little task

See if you pass it
