you want it all
what do you want?
you want it all
have you seen what you got?

who do you pledge allegiance to?
what do you have to prove?
I've been told before
to be patient with my goals
but no
that's a line
I'll no longer tow

it's easy to forget
but it's harder to know
television taught me
do what I'm told

I pray for forgiveness
as God as my witness
but actions speak
louder than words

it's not as easy
to trust what you heard
fending the voices
preying on herds

the children are itching
and scratching the system
but missing the part
to make it hurt

if nothing is to change
then we'll all stay the same
drifting and slipping
like clockwork keeps ticking
the minutes are melting
my time – worth no pay

I pretend it's okay
living on minimum wage
I know I sleep safe
but it's not the only way

there's always room to complain
if there's a room to complain
I've got a roof to maintain
I couldn't have it any other way
