Running On The Spot

I was hoping we'd make real progress -

But it seems we have lost the power

Any tiny step of advancement

Is like a raindrop falling into the ocean -

We're running on the spot - always have - always will?

We're just the next generation of the emotionally crippled.

Though we keep piling up the building blocks

The structure never seems to get any higher

Because we keep kicking out the foundations

And stand useless while our lives fall down.

I believe in life - and i believe in love

But the world in which i live in - keeps trying to prove me wrong.



Out in the pastures we call society

You can't see further than the bottom of your glass

Only young but easily shocked

You get all violent when the boat gets rocked -



Just like sheep - little lambs into the slaughter

Don't fully grasp what exactly is wrong -

Truth is you never cared - still -

You get all violent when the boat gets rocked -



Intelligence should be our first weapon

And stop reveling in rejection

And follow yourselves, not some ageing drain brain

Whose quite content to go on feeding you garbage

We're running on the spot - always have - always will?

We're just the next generation of the emotionally crippled.
