I'm mad at the world for rewarding the wrong people/ and feel sorry for the folks who can't filter out the deceitfulness/ evil exists/ and if you ain't trying to see it/ you can't sink where you sit/ while I synchronize my life for those who bleed for this shit/ and if you don't believe me I'll show you how deep it can get it/ and if you think it's legit/ then we can think for a bit and come up with a way to either make them leave or get sick/ cause when you needed to split/ I was dreaming of turning demons into meaningless bliss/ screaming for my keep/ while trying to keep to the script/ so I stay beefing with police cause they can't even leave me to live/ and you can take one in the teeth for even thinking I'd quit/ so you can keep it on the secret/ that even when the pieces all fell apart I stood there scarred by the sequence/ tarred and feathered for teenage delinquence/ an oppressive message never measured by its frequence/

chorus

Nobody cares/ and nobody knows/ about anybody's problems or anybody's hopes/ cause it's us versus them/ and friends versus foes/ fighting to the end with nothing left to show/

I travel down the road less chosen/ down and out left broken/ about to bout with cowards who are out because the lefts open/ so you can close the right/ who've never known what hope is like/ the world will never notice fights/ you only bring to open mics/ you may own the night/ but still have to work the days/ you think it hurts to write/ it'll be even worse to say/ so if it's worth the pain/ that might be the price to pay/ trade it in a blink or spend your days drinking your life away/ trying to fight the fate/ never knowing what you might replace/ end up with a new life/ that might not be quite as great/ crying shame/ lie to face/ it's like finding your life's work in the fire place/ look forward to brighter days/ I write away the insults and operate off of impulse/ avoid a life lived slow/ posted up with my kinfolk/ I'll show you how to get high/ others may say to get low/ it's simple/ we're all trying to get a look out the window/
