Beat Away My Misery I came home
from a day at school
feeling misfit
caged by all the rules
I turned on some music
fetched a pair of bongo drums
and I turned my exasperation into rhythm
healed my sadness
as I beat, beat, beat
beat away my misery
I flail my arms into the music
and I defeat
defeat this damn reality
Who would have though an entire world
so cumbersome
would meet its match
in my two bongo drums
