I'm dreaming in this nightmare,
It's a jungle out here,
The market's full of bulls and bears
Fighting for who gets the lion's share
No one cares,
The human soul is dear
No more.

Life's an unseen war,
We're at war with us,
Our kids grow in a world so vicious,
Everyone is the competition
They've got to outwit every competitor
If they don't want to be eaten,
So our little ones grow
To love only those in their pride.
Welcome to life's own roller-coaster ride
There's more terror than amusement.
