The World We Get Lost In


Beneath the wealth is a fallen society,
where money has out-priced family…
…been force-fed religion and group therapy…
“no, counselor, you don't understand me...”
I really think the gleam of wealth is blinding,
not really what it seems…
higher livin’ aint peaches and cream,
not coupled with high self-esteem.

Members of the human race:
I stand and challenge to unite,
not divide and fight, but combine to guard our rights...
We give up more than we take away,
and to this day, not much good has came...
but I digress... all consumption a function of stress,
each person doing more with less, working to be the best...
…shit, an uphill climb, here I come again…  where should I begin?

It's a race to the finish that I've started all too much,
running from the problems on a broken crutch,
chasing the gain - fighting mental strain...
sure, I could abstain, but with all the disdain,
disruption, and just plain destruction
can I not aid the pain??? 
I came to you to explain that this is no game…
…the effects are known, but the momentum carries on.

Not sure where I’m goin’ but I know I’m not there.
You know where I’m coming from?
The lot of you can make the same claim…
I don’t doubt you’ve had your share of change,
but only so much can I bear…

One minute you’ve got someone and not the next year….
Can we settle into a groove? It’s not something I have to prove…
That it feels more natural to fall into a behavioral pattern…
Let me say, there’s one thing I’ve got…. a perpetual groove... no more turns...
