Average

Average

I’ve been a fool’s fool
Taking the mean as a way-to-live rule
The mean as average, I mean
No guide
To buttress the walls that cave inside

Even when you live flat on the ground
You have to look up and feel the sky

Acting average we hope we’re exceptions
Think we’ll hide and vanish in the pack
Hoping to avoid kicks to the head
But cover your eyes and you can’t see the road
You won’t get where you need to go

History making fools of us
That makes us average
