Confirm my worst fears

With a twinkle in the eye

Caught red-handed

But still, you deny

The laws match the suit and tie

Your skin is so thick

Some call it evil

But it's just politics

So they open their mouth to feed

Eclipsing the sun

Doesn't matter if we believe

The light's already gone

Gave up on dreams

For a slice of the pie

Lost our self-esteem and

No one questions why

So they open their mouths to feed

Eclipsing the sun

Doesn't matter if we believe

The light's already gone

There's no cure for the greed

It taints everyone

Standing in line to see

The death of the paragon

We've grown so accustomed

To expecting the worst

Letting crimes go unpunished

With a wave of the hand or a sigh

We've grown so accustomed

To not making a difference

When survival is paramount

Who has the strength to even try

We've grown so accustomed

To ideals broken down

Don't even dare to hope

Even though it's all we have right now
