You've Got to be Carefully Taught

You've got to be careful
You've a dangerous tool
You're not one to take chances
And I'm one who breaks branches
Accidentally of course
But I'm a clumsy force
Secrets don't keep, people talk
And the way that you walk
Sometimes makes me think
That you've already started to sink
Not to mention the car
You took things too far
You're compromising everything
To which you must cling
It's exciting, yes
But to lose yourself in this mess?
Our histories
Bring fond memories
And you amuse
With reactions and fuse
And solidify
With momentum to edify
That which doesn't deserve
Your attention to preserve
That which may never be
Would you like just to see?
Perhaps it's a whim
Like to go for a swim?
Or perhaps you just want to
I don't believe you
I'm wondering why
You'd bother to try
When I'm doing my best
To be good with the rest
And what's my response?
I'd love to pounce...
