Better Things To Do

Beware of those in Argyle clothes with patches on their sleeves
who feel compelled to tell you what you need
And mentoring is a noble thing if that is all you need
even though you know where it could lead.
I was hoping all those lurid stories just weren’t true
that you pulled through and everything was cool
and when Mr. Manson asked to meet you after school
you told him you have better things to do
Did he read from Seuss’ “Oh the Places You’ll Go?”
Or help apply to colleges you choose?
Reminds him of the girl he loved a long long time ago
and did he cry each time he said you do?
I was hoping all those lurid stories just weren’t true
that you pulled through and everything was cool
and when Mr. Manson asked to meet you after school
you told him you’ve got better things to do
And it’s a shame your father didn’t own a gun back then
and it’s a shame that we weren’t better friends
I take some blame because I knew that your self-esteem was low
and if I could I’d have begged you not to go
Beware of those in Argyle clothes with patches on the sleeves
who feel they know just what a student needs.
I was hoping all those lurid stories just weren’t true
that you pulled through and everything was cool
and when Mr. Manson asked to meet you after school
you told him you’ve got better things to do
