Do we call this trying

We’re hopeless

Forget the denying

Our souls are corrupt

Our minds are messed up

Our consciences bankrupt

Oh, we’re fucked

People

What are we thinking

It’s shameful

Our standards are sinking

We’re barely hanging on

Our spirit has gone

And once, where it shone

I hear a lonesome song

People

How are we coping

It’s futile

To even start hoping

That justice will prevail

That truth will tip the scales

Our dignity has sailed

Oh, we’ve failed
