Tightrope

 Feel like I'm treading on a tightrope

Future generations need to have hope
Feel like we're treading on a tightrope
Stress and despair hit those that can't cope

Pleasure zone
Can't call it home
Work and consume
Obscure the gloom

Perpetual war
Murder and gore
Imperial fantasy
Flight from reality

Offshore money, dark money
Is buying up time
Funny, nothing funny
About a culture of crime
Dead rock, our legacy
Will be our graves
Arrogance, our nemesis
Will make us slaves

Toxic shock
Lethal smog
Choking kids
Gotta let us breathe
