Senseless Act of Kindness

© Spud Davenport

A senseless act of kindness
'bout knocked me to the floor
Somebody's acting civilized
I can't remember seein' that before
And I'm wonderin' what's wrong with the world
It's in such a mess
When I see a senseless act of kindness

Now I'm drivin' in a freak show
Nobody's givin' me the finger
There's a blinker tellin' me "GO"
But distrust can really linger
When I see a senseless act of kindness

Kindness Is such a silly word
I think mindless is a better term
Helpless
are those in need of help
Hey Selfless!
Why dontcha help yourself?
Goodwill
is just a write-off
You still gotta chew what you bite off
Blindness
won't help you survive
Kindness
won't keep you alive

Another senseless act of kindness
'bout knocked me off my feet
I saw a monochrome Boy Scout
help an old lady cross the street
An' I'm wonderin' what's wrong with the world
I feel so powerless
When I see a senseless act of kindness
Oh No! Not another senseless act of kindness!
