Lyrics:
VERSE 1
Rest in peace to the family values.
Proceed with caution and watch ‘em, they’re washing down tubes.
Bad news, is all we see on the screen now.
I’m trying to figure out what’s the American Dream now?
It’s lust, greed, violence and self pride.
As long as you’re fine no big if anyone else dies,
or anyone else cries and has to suffer for it.
It’s blatantly obvious but we painfully ignore it.
So fast forward with me now, and see how it turns out.
Everything is fake, what was real’s burnt out.
Matrimony ain’t holy if you aren’t loving them only,
Well, then your vows are just phony, and I bet you’re still living lonely.
But wedding rings don’t mean nothing when it’s lust involved.
I bet we never see the day real justice falls.
Cause now the world thinks it’s cool to have sex with strangers.
It’s supposed to be special. Instead it’s just dangerous.
It amazes me, this place I see.
It could be your own wife that gives you HIV.
So everyday I breathe, dear Father may I be,
a little different from the rest so I can raise my seed,
The right way I pray light rays and bright days
Are ever in his future but I know, despite faith
There ain’t no way to save him from the things he might face
And everybody’s got to hurt a little in life’s race
Yeah lives waste way, happens everyday
And so I’m standing in the trenches til a remedy’s made
Love
HOOK
If life is a contest, we’re all losing.
Because of all the nonsense, we’re all choosing.
(How low we go, this road is all that we know. I hope someday, maybe we’ll find our way)
VERSE2
We can be so sure we’re right that we fight til we’re wrong
First the pride then the fall we think that we’re strong
And we think we’re entitled, we try to think like our idols
But all our idols are false when moral thinking is vital
And it don’t matter your title, you fall under human
And human is to err so we carry confusion
Disillusionment and bitterness, so on and so on
Building blocks that turn out to be pretty tough to grow on
Go slow on your journey of looking for the right way
Careful don’t get in a hurry to fall for the snakes and the lies they might say
A nice face will hide fake intentions from a sly snake
To your face a smile and shake, but in truth it’s bait they lie in wait
Try and take it all with a teaspoon of salt
You think that you got it all figured out well you probably haven’t at all
Caught in this race til we fall, forever looking for the bigger gain
I don’t think that making lots of money means you win the game
HOOK
VERSE3
So in a world that’s so wrong thinking that it’s so right
Certain we can see it all when in truth there’s no light
It’s on those who know light to show light to the masses
If vision isn’t 20/20 lend your friend some glasses
The past is repeating in our government regime
Every 4 to 8 years different puppet same team
The democrats and republicans they kill the same dream
And we let it happen cause we’re all just zombies to the main stream
Tell us what to eat and what to wear and tell us how to think
And anyone who makes any sense you can flush em down the sink
I been wandering round the brink and now I think I found the stink
Corruption grows where money flows and justice floats then drowns and sinks
I’m pretty certain for Lady Liberty- curtains.
The citizens are hurting and it’s only getting worse and
so I guess I’m not the first to say we’re all a bunch of losers here
Sitting round a wicked crown like what are we gonna lose this year
HOOK
