A Not So Wise Man Once Said

Is it right for you
Is it want you want

A fake dream made of lies
You’ve been designed to just push-on

Consume and pay for this
Consume and pay for that
Before you’re in your thirties
A lifetime full of debt

Stiff upper lip
What a load of crap
Swallow all the pain and stress you want
It’s your heart attack

Do you ever stop and see the mirror cries
Or do you look away, happy with your lies

Do you ever just sit and stop
Listen to your mind
Hear the cries of your soul
Begging to save your life
