No matter how hard you work

And how hard you try,

The truth of the matter

Is that too few will cry,

By the side of your coffin

Shortly after you’ve died,

In this relentless pursuit

That we surrender to and it’s called life,

And you gave it away

Living under the big lie,

That you should live it for others

So that they can profit,

And they’ll laugh at us all

Because we can’t or won’t stop it,

We wasted the life we were given

And no matter how obvious this is,

We continue to ignore this.
