with time all ideals fade
lament and submit
eat grains
put payment to principle

buy cards for people you dont like
errand sundays and trips to lowes
gotta finish that brick barbeque

while the hopeless of america
and the rest of the world
bleed into oblivion

starved and left to perrish
beaten and inprisoned
enslaved without a voice

its hard for me to sit here
and type on a machine that costs more
than what most foreign families make in a decade

but ideals fade when you lament and submit
as you've realized this horrible nature
of men
is irreversable
and always inevitable
