Well I worked out a scheme
That made sense to me
And everyone agreed
It's a pretty good plan
In the next few months
I would change my diet
I would exercise and read the Koran
Well I would think good thoughts
And I would change my life
I'd stop complaining
And be a good friend
And at the end
Of the next few months
Well all my troubles I would transcend
Futility and its remedies
The cure is worse than the condition
Well I got into shape
And I lost a lot of weight
People said I looked
Ten years younger
What good did it do me
It didn't make me happy
The only thing I felt was hunger
I prayed to God
To help me out
But he must've been busy
With other stuff
I got down on my knees
I humbled myself
Just like when Job had screamed "Enough!"
