Tragedy - Wisdom In Chains

I’ve spent years trying to change the world, but it always ends the same

Such a fruitless waste of time, ‘cause it ain’t my world to change

I never had a change from way back when and that’s how it remains

It’s such a tragedy

It’s such a shame

We’re all to blame

We’ll do anything for a buck and you know it’s such a shame

Nobody cares where the money comes from as long as you don’t complain

New shiny Chinese toys made from a child’s pain

We buy shoes with blood in the soles, how did we get so vain?

We lost track of our souls in unemployment lines

We lost our humanity somewhere in our selfish minds

I start over every day with a half a mind to change

But the pressure of modern life just beats me down again

While the plebs keep eating shit, Big brother has his way

It’s just taxes, taxes, get in line or get the fuck out of my way

We lost track of our souls in unemployment lines

We lost our humanity somewhere in our selfish minds

Help me!

There’s got to be a lot of people like me

Who hate living in a society

That takes our pain so lightly

Can we get away together and start again?

Is it crazy to hope for better day?

Can people exist in harmony?

Without greed or hate or poverty

Or am I just wasting time?

You’re just wasting time

Am I just wasting time?

You’re just wasting time

I’ve spent years trying to change the world, but it always ends the same

Such a fruitless waste of time, ‘cause it ain’t my world to change

I never had a change from way back when and that’s how it remains

It’s such a tragedy

It’s such a shame

We’re all to blame
