Wrung out

Them
Life for us is tough
Everyone is making us comply at every angle
So you sit up and listen to our issues.

Me
Wrung out,
Too emotionally involved.

Them
Sit down, and let me tell you what it’s like for us
I’m not disturbing your lunch am I?
It’s all a conspiracy, to suck more money out of our pockets and into theirs.

Me
Wrung out,
Take it too much to heart.

Them
And then there was that time when that really unfair thing happened
And that time when your predecessors’ predecessor did something unfair to us
So of course you might do the same thing, despite what you say

Me
Wrung out,
Even when there is nothing I can do.
