Here's another tale, a replay of society's failures

out for ourselves, bred to consume in pursuit of wealth

and the ones in charge, once secure show disregard

for future generations who must endure what's left behind

no compassion, no caution, no forethought

potential for a fall

no forethought, no vision, no future

potential for a fall

go about our lives as we turn a blind eye

as long as i get mine

potential for a fall

submissive, complacent, sit back and let it slip away

just can't seem to hold it together

and yet we continue with the charade of being individuals

as we get spoon-fed, kept in check by the latest trends

are we that shallow? is getting your groove on all that matters?

i'm not asking you to bleed but show consideration please

sit back and let it slip away

we can't seem to hold it together we can't seem to get it right
