Short Fuse

Don’t light me up I got a short fuse
Don’t put me down I just love the dirt
Don’t tie me up cause I’ll just get loose
Don’t try to play you might get hurt
The violence in Europe is oozing
Just like the pus from a broken scab
Got made a man from nights of boozing
Gonna be just like my Dad
Hey Mr. Postman what’s the news today
Can you tell me if everything’s gonna be okay
My eyes are wide open and the drapes have been drawn
My mind is smoking, blowing up like an atom bomb
Don’t light me up I got a short fuse
Don’t put me down I just love the dirt
Don’t tie me up cause I’ll just get loose
Don’t try to play you might get hurt
The dogs are gone and I can’t get work
The sun shines down like a 40-watt bulb
I told my mom and she went berserk
Should have done what I been told
Hey Humpty Dumpty I guess you learned your lesson
You got made into breakfast by some fat old Texan
And all the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t find a reason, and pushed Humpty to his end
Don’t light me up I got a short fuse
Don’t put me down I just love the dirt
Don’t tie me up cause I’ll just get loose
Don’t try to play you might get hurt
