We fill the hands of the rich on the backs of the poor
But we don't call this slavery anymore
Just getting by is a bitch and we're all prisoners of war
And it never seems to get easier to endure
We don't take it lightly, we can't take it well
And you hear it nightly when you're living in home sweet Hell
We've fallen fast asleep and we're burning in the summer
This endless backseat bummer, and I don't know if we can be any dumber than this
Face down in our bliss, so here's one for the hopeless, the brokenhearted dissonance
The answers blow by the wind, we turn our backs on our friends
And no one seems to want to understand tha we're all one in the same
We need someone to blame, and we put it on each other, that's the shame
We multiply divisions, What's goin' on? Who we gonna turn to when our sanity is gone?
We've fallen fast asleep and we're burning in the summer
This endless backseat bummer, and I don't know if we can be any dumber than this
Face down in our bliss, so here's one for the hopeless, the brokenhearted dissonance
It's time to turn off the wind
It's time we really start listening to the voices of desperation calling in
