lyrics

No Patience

So it’s stop and go on a construction road
and I’m weaving on both sides of the road to see
what’s happening beyond this huge semi
that’s just creeping along in front of me.
When I finally get to past him, I yell out the window “You idiot!”
but my hat flies out into the street,
so I have to jump out pick it up; my kids are looking out the window
and I’m looking stupid; I got no patience. No patience.

Standing in what I perceived
was the shortest line at the grocery store,
watching the longer line next to me
move quickly down the floor
so I move to that quicker line
only to find I have to wait even more,
and I groan and roll my eyes; obviously,
I have no patience. No, no, I got no patience.

Years ago I was led to believe that having kids would bring about more,
but over the years I seem instead to be more aggravated than before.

So there’s an old man with a walker
at a crosswalk, and he’s making me wait
as he inches along, smiling at me
as if I’m happy to give him his space,
but he doesn’t grasp; (well he doesn’t have to)
that he’s making me and everybody behind me late.
and I roll past as soon as I got room; and I’m unhappily,
cause I got no patience. No, I got no patience.

She say’s she’s almost ready;
“Hey, we gotta hurry Hon, or we’ll be late for the show.”
“Just a few things to finish up,” she say’s
as I’m pacing to and fro,
then a half an hour later
I’m sitting on the couch I’m still waiting to go,
and I’m exhaling through my nose; and she knows,
I got no patience. Hmm, I have no patience.
