Going Back Forwards

going back forwards
step up to sit down
laughing with a frown
being lost to be found

outsmarting em by being dumb
wishing for wishes but never wishing one
playing the lottery for a retirement plan
spend all your life working for the man

smile while you cry
using the truth as a lie
wanting more but doing less
always hoping for the best

banging on the door to get outside
rolling on the floor trying to fly
throwing away the lottery ticket before you scratch
bury your money to grow quick cash
