Effort

from Leaky Canoe by Phoebe Kreutz

lyrics

Oh, every person represents an awful lot of effort
An awful lot of effort someone took
Ev'ry person represents an awful lot of effort,
No matter how unsavory they look.
The world can seem to be a nasty nest of vipers
But someone had to come along to change the vipers' diapers
Every person represents an awful lot of effort indeed.

I don't mean everyone was loved or had a saintly mother
or snuggled in a cozy little bed.
It might have been a total wreck- but one way or another,
somebody had to see the wreck was fed.
Somebody had to grow the baby. Someone had to birth it.
(Though when I ride the L Train I'm not sure that it was worth it)
All those nimrods represent an awful lot of effort indeed.

Now that I'm a parent, I know the thing that only we know
It makes it hard for me to enjoy the films of Quentin Tarentino

Cuz Michael Madsen represents so many dirty bottles
and tissues used to wipe his little snot
And Steve Buscemi represents the "shushes" and the swaddles
It makes it such a shame when he gets shot.
And in the real world, when someone kills a person,
That's years of work that cannot be replaced
So if you're gonna kill someone, just think of all the effort
'Cuz that's the real human life you waste.
