generic lyrics?

Once you have discovered a formal approach to writing particular lyrics they sort of write themselves. Therefore, there remains nothing much to say about the writing process of "and to pass my time": it's basically just placing antonyms side by side. This could go on indefinetly. Typical for me is that I do it in the first person, so this person becomes something abstract. Instead of writing: "some (people) are cowards, some are brave" I put it "I'm a coward, I'm brave". Just as with "one of seven billion" 'I' stand for mankind. In effect the text is rather similar, apart from the fact that it lacks the positive 'carpe diem' message.

and to pass my time

I'm ugly, I'm cute
I'm sentient, I'm brute
I'm here to look around
and to pass my time

I'm thin-skinned, I'm tough
I'm obliging, I'm gruff
I'm here to look around
and to pass my time

I'm evil, I'm good
I'm misunderstood
I'm here to look around
and to pass my time

when we make love I can purr like a cat
when I starve I become a vicious old rat
pay homage to me, the good guy from next door
when we fall out of love I'll declare war

I'm a coward, I'm brave
I'm master, I'm slave
I'm here to look around
and to pass my time

I'm precious, I'm rare
I'm mean and unfair
I'm here to look around
and to pass my time

I'm evil, I'm good
I'm misunderstood
I'm here to look around
and to pass my time
