I've felt dignified fortune before

But the luck's not on my side today

Burnt out, can't remember the score

Success and reality have gone their separate ways

I know it's hard

When the solitary chain reaction buries me

Confessed, second guessed

I swallow the remains of my pride and my validity



Now it's come to this

I never thought I would hang so long

I'm blaming everyone

I was falling short all along

At odds, but I try

I know it ain't no Sunday drive

Pressure, it bears down

Distracts me from my life



Penniless, but got the bills to pay

Inferiority complex rations spent

Working nine to five every day

Sucks my time right through the social vent

I can't make sense

Of this systematic rat race marathon

In time I realize

My dreams for ideals and utopia have gone
