I'm Having Trouble Concentrating
By Smalltown Mike
Concentrate.
It’s like a bee buzzing round my head
Of fear or loneliness or something,
like when I lived in B.C. and I drove this
1965 barracuda.
The gas tank broken, brakes fucked,
but the radio was something.
I rented movies almost every night—
It was years before extra features.
(I'm having trouble concentrating)
It’s incredible when you think about it:
River Phoenix—is he really dead.
They say you never forget where you were when you heard but ...
I don’t recall.
CHORUS
I'm no good for you, some say bad for you
I fucked around until you shut me down
Why’d you retaliate? I can’t concentrate
I can’t keep focused on the task at hand
Concentrate.
You think if I went to prison
even for something harmless like insider trading
you think they’d give me a TV show when I got out?
(I'm having trouble concentrating)
But I’m more into cooking than ordering out, really.
You get a much better meal for cheaper and ...
You can really tell fall’s coming, eh?
Trees are changing colour
Kids are back in school
Back when I was still in school ....
But man, that barracuda ...
CHORUS
(I'm having trouble concentrating)
But I can’t blame you, really
You’ve got to do what’s best for you
But if I remember to make my coffee each morning
It really is a miracle.
