Come out of it, already!

.

Inertia is the deplorable state
Of exhibiting resistance to change;
Of having the peculiar disability
Of being incapable of spontaneity.

It's when you keep playing the same song again and again
Though your friends may bitch and your neighbors complain.
You know in your heart you're doing something wrong
But you're just so attached to that damned old song.

It just irks your delicate sense of grace
To even think of changing your pace.
Neither do you know how to stop once your playing the game,
Nor can you shift gears or change your lane.

Inertia is the deplorable state
Of exhibiting resistance to change;
Others may cringe and cry and pull their hair
But of their pain you're blissfully unaware.
