Alexei Panshin's The Abyss of Wonder


   
 
 
 
 

How Come You're So Mad?




You said you'd be my friend
But now it's at an end
No need to pretend
You want to send
Bad wishes to me
And hope for the worst
You think that I'm evil
You think that I'm accursed

How come you're mad at me
When I ain't mad at you?
How come you're so mad?
How come you're so mad?
 

I asked you for some time
You said that it's a crime
And called me slime
And said that I'm
Worst than the worst
And lower than dirt
And if I'm not careful
I'm gonna get hurt

How come you won't play with me
When I want to play with you?
How come you're so mad?
How come you're so mad?
 

You say you doubt my word
And think that I'm absurd
I talk like a nerd
I fondle turds
I harbor hate
And carry a grudge
Got flies 'round my head
I'm covered in sludge

How come you're afraid of me
When I ain't afraid of you?
How come you're so mad?
How come you're so mad?
 

Hey, you want to play stickball some time?
