lyrics
Once upon a time, there was a fabled life
Where things just worked out right and people were valued
There were limits to ego and how much you could feed it
There were boundaries you could not cross
Must have been something in the water
Because by the time that you read this
There isn't much left to believe in
And all the water's running hellishly dry
And if I had to wager
I'd say we're losing major
This septic tank's been spilling over for a while.
And if you make eye contact
Make sure you're armed and ready
Prepare to watch them lose their shit and abort their values
Because when they're hungry and needy
There's no time for your feelings
They're going to eat you up and never look back
And in a matter of hours, they'll have wholesale devoured you
And all the people they've been aching for
And they'll patiently wait for more
And if you think that they're ones to fool
Just remember their golden rule
There's nothing sacred in this world anymore
There's nothing sacred anymore
