A Reason To Be.


Seasons come and go
Planes fly and crash
The biggest loser wins
Hobos fight for cash
Sex is in your mind
Crime is on the street
The good always die young
The old learn how to tweet
Money is in the bag
Bag is at the station
Someone stop the train
Lets buy a broken nation
Piss passes for water
Water turns to wine
We kill ourselves for fun
Gets a laugh every time
We are older than we look
Younger than we feel
Today I saw myself in an ad
I no longer know what’s real
I wear boots without socks
Shave my head, read a book
Got on a train only to find
Everyone has stolen my look
I’ve been a demographic
For longer than I can remember
Eat, buy, consume, die
Holiday in December
If peace were a bullet in the head
I’m pretty sure I’d take it
Until then I’ll just be happy
Or learning how to fake it
