Would it please you if you were needed?
Do you feel the need to be pleased?
Young lady, you say
you're wasting away
so I'll say to you
these days, there are few
who do not feel the same.
Don't think your feelings are conveyed by a song
(as song's meanings are oft' misconstrued and oft' wrong).
And those who think thus are often bad poets -
who quote Linkin Park, though they don't really know it,
and say to themselves, "Well, they'll understand."
While the audience danced to a whole different band.
Now I'm not a poet, so I might as well say it:
you don't have to sing if you want to convey it.
