It's your story
... and I'm just the antithesis
It's your american dream
... and here I sit in this f****** nightmare
Watching you
Biding time
And speaking lines
And I'm wondering why you're even here at all
It's your salvation that leaves me in eternal hell
It's your complacent life of s***
That leaves me choking on the smell of;
Ruined lives and wasted minds and doomed ideas
That leave people shot down in the street
Children cold with nothing to eat
The homeless with their shoeless feet
While fatcats and their wealthy hags
Pass people living out of bags
s***! Can't someone give me hope?
Your goal in life is to live until you die
My goal in death is to escape this pathetic human sty
Cause when the air is poison
And the raindrops burn
And s** is death
It's hard for me to see what's left
But when generals are struck dead from the sky
And politicians are victims of their lies
When all the cops are locked in jail
And all the priests have gone to hell
When lawyers rot in growing heaps
And all world leaders are buried deep
That's the day!
That's the day I'll find my hope
... and I'm just the antithesis
It's your american dream
... and here I sit in this f****** nightmare
Watching you
Biding time
And speaking lines
And I'm wondering why you're even here at all
It's your salvation that leaves me in eternal hell
It's your complacent life of s***
That leaves me choking on the smell of;
Ruined lives and wasted minds and doomed ideas
That leave people shot down in the street
Children cold with nothing to eat
The homeless with their shoeless feet
While fatcats and their wealthy hags
Pass people living out of bags
s***! Can't someone give me hope?
Your goal in life is to live until you die
My goal in death is to escape this pathetic human sty
Cause when the air is poison
And the raindrops burn
And s** is death
It's hard for me to see what's left

And politicians are victims of their lies
When all the cops are locked in jail
And all the priests have gone to hell
When lawyers rot in growing heaps
And all world leaders are buried deep
That's the day!
That's the day I'll find my hope
