How Dare You!
by louis gander

How dare you tell me what to do -
you little Christian man!
You hide inside your little world -
I'll do just what I can.

How dare you tell me what to do -
you talk big - then you quit!
You claim to help the poor and meek,
but you're a hypocrite.

How dare you tell me what to do -
it's legal... gambling, booze.
So keep your morals off of me,
I'll do just what I choose.

How dare you tell me what to do!
Send me a little food!
I spent a bit on 'joints' and stuff.
I'm in depressive mood.

How dare you tell me what to do!
You know it's how life goes.
Don't leave me to the elements,
but buy me newer clothes.

How dare you tell me what to do -
in comforts of your home.
Basic shelter is a need -
yet, place to place, I roam.

How dare you tell me what to do!
Your morals? Off MY body!
Just find a cure for my disease -
and happy I will be.

How dare you tell me what to do!
Pay all my needs and wants!
Health care costs are through the roof -
so pay all my insurance.

How dare you pray to your great God.
He makes me down to lie,
He leads me by still waters,
He makes me want to cry.

Just leave me be. Ignore me -
until some future date.
Just let me live the way I want -
until it's just too late.

These may not be words you said -
so be offended? No.
"How dare you!" were the words I said,
a long, long time ago.
