Ode to the contemporary Ubermensch


Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see
That dominance is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

I try to find a way to make
All our little joys relate
Without that ever-present hate
I realize that it’s too late.
Dominance is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

The game of life is hard to play
I’m gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I’ll someday lay
So this is all I have to say.
Dominance is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I’m beat
And to another give my seat
For that’s the only painless feat.
Dominance is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn’t hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger
Watch it grin.
Dominance is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
“Is it to be or not to be?”
And I replied, “Oh why ask me?”
Dominance is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.
And you can do the same thing if you please.
