Action Figure

I heard a rumor that I'm sad
Or at least that I feel bad
Whoever said that doesn't know
I'm pretty sure that I don't know

And if a case was made for this
Could it be something that we missed
Let's let the cat out of the bag
Let's let the neighborhood go bad

It take some time but there you go
It takes a lot of guts to show
The silly side of who we are
As if we'd ever go that far

So we can put the watch away
And we can throw away the cane
And we can walk through God's own will
Because he's crying, crying still today

What are the odds that you are right?
What will we have to eat tonight?
What if I told you it's okay
To be my action figure?

I've swatted bugs all afternoon
I've swallowed beer like a cartoon
And if old Waylon hung the moon
Will we be singing with him soon?

And I will learn to look away
When there are thing I cannot bear
Perhaps you'll sing a different tune
Perhaps we'll learn to tell the difference

And there are people that I know
Who learn to live within their limits
And we are lucky to be so
