Late Night

What happened to yesterday? All the kids stopped playing And the skies turned gray This town is a school And some houses All built on clay And everyone here Has to show how much They get paid Because the class system has failed us Fucked us And derailed us Sent us off track Locked us up And jailed us Cause we've lost sight In what is real Learning to love And to heal feel And not steal To not hurt Lie Or kill To keep believing in something Even though its not real Faith is unshaken So also is will So I leave you with this One last thought to ponder Are we here for a reason Or here just to wonder?
