So, Now How Do You Feel?
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
I’m depressed because I’m still here
But you could now be of good cheer
Your work is hard; your labor long
But striving only makes you strong
And soon your striving will be over
But will you get a new land rover?
Or would you prefer he stay at home?
And never leave you all alone
I’m depressed; be of good cheer
The time is short; the end is near
No need to labor anymore
It’s time for me to close the door
I’ll close you in to spare you grief
But this world gives me no relief
This world will be destroyed by fire
I tell the truth; I’m not a liar!
