So tell me what you live for.
Is it the emperor's clothes on your expensive shows?
Or the flexible contract on your mobile-phone?
Friday nights in watching desperate TV?
No one disturbs us it's just you and me.
So tell me what you work for.
A pat on the back and a means to an end?
No one applauds you and your hopes will transcend,
to the depths of your dreams, a get rich quick scheme.
Restless-Sleepless, and a low self esteem.
You can pray for better days,
but good things don't always come to those who wait.
Betrayed
A significant change in the way we remain,
so futile and hopeless, just rats in a cage.
Just a phone call away, a stop on the train,
instead i walked home and got soaked in the rain.
Behind all your flesh was an uglier truth,
I think your hair is a mess and your lies are uncouth.
Indulging yourself for the sake of your wealth,
raise a glass to delusion, and here's to good health.
You can pray for better days,
but good things don't always come to those who wait,
I'm afraid.
