Too Much/Not Enough

©2003 Michael D. Renneker

Gonna write a letter, send it to my mom

And tell her what’s going on

So I sit at my computer to type

But I have to choose a font

Well I find Times Roman too hard to read                                             

Arial a bit cliché

But I can’t decide and it’s messin with my mind

guess I’ll blow it off for some other day

chorus

Too much, not enough, too much, not enough

too much, not enough, too much, not enough

too much, not enough, too much, not enough

too much information, not enough wisdom

Now it’s fall and here I am back at school

At the local university

I hear so many strange and different ideas

Which do not make any sense to me

Every single thing my parents taught me was wrong

All the history I learned was a lie

There is no real truth and the sky isn’t blue

And there’s nothing but dirt and darkness after we die

chorus

Overloaded, overwhelmed, saturated, overstated,

Overburdened, at the breaking point, strained, complain

Stressed out, head spinning, indecision, derision, on a mission, television

At capacity, on the brink, over the edge

gonna kick back and watch me a little TV

got my thumb firmly on the remote

my eyes want to look but my conscience sees the hook

many laughing but few get the joke

I see somebody sell somebody else down the river

Just because they’re on TV

And a parade of talking heads put their collective two cents

In a well of speculation and uncertainty

Chorus
