The less than

W. Charlie Martineau, Jr.

 

Here's to all those who are less than!
Here's to the ones that don't measure up
The unstable, the weak, and the broken
We are beaten to the ground but we stand back up


Nobody cares about our hurting
Not from the throne that they stole with our pain
And nobody cares if we deserve it
They judge from their lofty heights with disdain


So Fuck all you pretentious Masters!
You act like you earned that spot that you hold
But you don't know shit about disasters
Bereft of the hand you were dealt you would fold.


We were born to this world as the rejects.
You tell us that we'll never do shit on our own. 
You were born to this world as a pretext
Pretending you're reaping the crop that you've sown


But we see through fallacious bullshit
You're convincing yourself that you've conquered with ease

But you're just posing as a pundit
A sophistic bitch that still needs our disease


So, here's to all those who are less than!
Here's to the ones that don't measure up


The unstable, the weak, and the broken
We get beat to the ground but we stand back up

Don't try to teach us how to fix it
Don't ever think you have value to us
The fact is you don't really know shit!
You just give your advice to feel better than us


So, don't breathe a word about your progress
With your winnings attached to your ticket to earth. 
The time will come for us to redress.
And you won't stand a chance with your plush life from birth

Here I stand as a less than

This is the place that I'm not giving up
And here I stand as the broken

And here I'll stay till you don't measure up

Yes, I'm not as weak as you imagine 

I have more fight than the sage could portend

I've fought back my share of demons 

And I will rage with my might in the fight till the end.

So, here's to all those who are less than!

Here's to the ones that don't measure up

The unstable, the weak, and the broken

We get beat to the ground but we stand back up

 

And Fuck you who think that you are more than!

Fuck you who think that we don't measure up!

And Fuck you for thinking we are broken!

We may start from the ground but we stand back up

Always from the ground do we stand back up!
