See You There

If you listen to the chatter
they'll convince you it don't matter, more or less;
as long as your wallet's fatter,
never mind those 'neath the ladder of success.
There's no need to feel an instant of distress,
or a sense of guilt for stepping past the mess.

In the growing of confusion,
they'll lead to you to same conclusion, wait and see;
as we suffer from delusion
that we're guiltless of collusion, you and me.
There's no need to speak up if you disagree,
or be wary of the threat to liberty.

Bow your head and learn your lesson:
better start to count your blessings, while you can.
There's another world tomorrow
filled with all the pain and sorrow you can stand.
If you think it won't come calling,
that your high flying ain't falling, best beware:
there's another side to living,
balance between taking and giving...
see you there.

If you mind the paranoia
you'll believe they can destroy you, if they try;
so you trust in any ploy,
become the wicked world's new play toy, by and by.
There's no point in any struggle, so don't cry;
besides, we must keep the mechanism dry.

Bow your head and learn your lesson:
better start to count your blessings, while you can.
There's another world tomorrow
filled with all the pain and sorrow you can stand.
If you think it won't come calling,
that your high flying's not falling, best beware:
there's another side to living,
balance between taking and giving...
see you there.
