Up and down
These days are up and down
They call it elevated living
A faster future for a faster breed
Unforgiving unfulfilling

The spirit's willing
But the mind is weak
I had an empty education
I want to speak
But when I try to speak
It doesn't help the situation

And some they fly while others fall
And some they walk while others crawl
It stops them feeling small
That's all

Shake your hand
They'll always shake your hand
Without a moments hesitation
Burning bridges
And snapping strands
That support a generation

You
