Things aren't as easy as our parents make them out to be A future of success is hard to see When hopeful thoughts are lost in cigarette daydreams torn apart at the seams Lost in a sea of sadness and sorrow It'll be just the same tomorrow In the world nowadays we have to make our brains hallucinate to cope with hate On the news each day we see the result of a ****, a ******, or a prison escape We see violence and riots Cannibals and car bombs setting the innocent aflame We bury the dead and for a day act as if we remember everything they once said And just like that We become the monsters we looked for under our beds And tomorrow It'll all be the same
