Anger and boredom are a bad combination.
But is he angry or has he gone crazy?
Some may say he's gone mad.
Others that he's just mean.
He would say cruelty is the mean
Among mankind today.

Do you know what he means?
Has he any less heart
Than your average man?
He means no harm.
He is just mad.
Is that so insane?

Yet another explanation is he was singed.
Still smoking and blackened and shrunk to fit—
His seams are exhausted.
In this context, they mean his endings.
They were meant for far greater
Than to man controls with no feeling.

He has worked like mad
Finding factors to blame.
Meanwhile, he fans flames to defend.
Man to man, though, he's just mad
About diversions that don't work.

He has no sense of the meaning
In the remaining embers.
He knows better than to be mean
Whether it is the mean of man or not.
He simply entertains himself this way when he's bored.

Man, that’s just crazy.
