Your children are going
to places unknown
on a need to know basis
they'll never return home
so mothers and fathers
teach them how to march
so in a few years
they can depart
after kissing
their sweethearts
goodbye
they'll be off to fight
to keep the gas
pumps ringing and
diamonds on fingers
blinging while they're
wondering why their
leaders don't get
the electric chair
for what goes on
over; over there...Kelly McManus

World's so desolate
in the middle of nowhere
they won't find us here...Kelly McManus

What happens to
the no ones
that no one knows
that no one
will remember
or hear them cry
no one cares
when no one's left
to tend
to their affairs
no one thinks
about the no ones
until they become
one themselves
and no one
can be found
to put no one
into the ground
and forget
no one was
ever around...Kelly McManus

No one  knows my heart
they never took enough time
while beating me down...Kelly McManus

Their reality
is all imaginary
conceptual crap...Kelly McManus

Mankind you've had time
to use brains instead of brawn
but soon you'll be gone...Kelly McManus

Daydreams and nightmares
as you stare at the mirror
watching yourself age...Kelly McManus
