doom

By ColorMeToxic

We've bitten off more than we can chew.
But still, we must swallow.

Do the best we can, to maintain sanity,
In a world where sanity is almost as rare
as common sense.

Listening to The Man has gotten us nowhere,
but still, we listen. (sheep)
(How can) People continue to put faith in a system that's broken...

And when it comes to destroying our home,
we are experts. 
It's just regrettably bad these days.
But still, we destroy it.

I thought each generation was supposed to learn from the last.
I guess that memo was lost long before now...

One last thing: It is my opinion, that we are fucked my friends.
