    Nothing Less Than Zero

    Somebody got raw
    Hauled off and hit me
    We had to square off
    Cause I'm not a sissy
    I gathered up the scatter
    Bust him in the biscuit
    Well now I'm on the run
    But I had to risk it
    Jetting to the South
    I heard it on the airwaves
    The Feds are on the scent
    And they're headed my way
    So time to break North
    I'm in need of transport
    But I ain't got no money
    So I need a new source
    Taking up the gait
    Now it's back to basics
    Strong-arm robbery
    It's time to face it
    Just one bad move
    And I'm not the hero
    My chances for success
    Nothing less than zero

    Life is in the toilet
    And I'm into free fall
    I can't think clearly
    Cause I've got no recall
    Scareder than a muther
    With no time to reflect
    Wishing like hell that
    I'd never had done this
    I should'd stepped off
    And just squashed the beef
    Then I wouldn't have the man
    Coming after me
    Every hand it seems to be
    Is turn against me
    My face is in papers
    And it's shown on tv
    With nowhere to turn
    And nowhere to run
    I had to turn myself in
    To escape the gun
    Just one bad move
    And I'm not the hero
    My chances for success
    Nothing less than zero

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
