            DOOMED

(C)  BILL DAKE   (ASCAP)


AM I DOOMED?
DOOMED TO BE SQUARE
WENT TO THE COOLEST SCHOOLS
TO LEARN THE RULES
BUT IT'S BEEN GETTIN' ME NOWHERE

AM I CONDEMNED
TO LIVE A LIFE OF "JUST FAIR"
THOUGH I'VE HUNG WITH THOSE 
OTHER CATS
WHO KNEW WHERE IT'S AT
STILL, I COULDN'T GET THERE

SOME PEOPLE GET IT RIGHT
THE FIRST TIME
I NEVER SEE THE LIGHT 'TILL
EVERYONE'S LEAVIN'
AND I'M BARELY BREATHIN'
AM I DOOMED?

SOMETIMES I FEEL LOST
DOUBLECROSSED
CONSUMED WITH THE DOUBT
THAT THIS LIFE WILL WORK OUT
AS PLANNED
JAMMED
IN A RUT THAT'S SO DEEP
I LOOK UP, I SEE FEET
IS THERE A TONIC
SOME MAGIC BREW
OR MAYBE A PILL 
THAT CAN HELP ME BREAK THROUGH
THIS FOG  I'VE BEEN IN
FOR SO LONG, TOO LONG

SOME PEOPLE GET IT RIGHT
THE FIRST TIME
I NEVER SEE THE LIGHT 'TILL
EVERYONE'S LEAVIN'
AND I'M BARELY BREATHIN'
AM I DOOMED?

GOTTA FIND A WAY 
TO REVERSE THIS TREND
OR I'M 
DOOMED
