We try in our existence, To make to the best of what we get
Success through our persistence, But lose sight of the goals we set
Blinded by human nature, Violence begets violence
I know I'm not the one to talk, But still I can't stay silent
We live our lives too fast
We toil and labor to break our fucking backs
To make life more than what it seems
In pursuit of the American Dream
Why must a nation war, too many flags unfurled and soared
How can we live this life day to day, When our rights are being torn
The parchment paper burns must easier, When it's soaked in gasoline
Shred amendments for a resource, We must find some other means
And so on, And so on
The story is so long, it's so long
And it ends, As it starts
With such confusion, We must see true to our hearts
