Contempt for Others

This ain't the dream, that we thought it could be

We broke society... perhaps?

You told us what to do and say, it didn't matter anyway

We wrote the part but not the facts

Yes it's true, I've broken rules, well haven't you?

We're hardwired to offend

Accepting people's faults like we would our friends and family, is hard to do.

Let's agree to disagree

Can we just do that, can we?

It seems not, so what we've got here, Is a perpetual cycle of pain and fear.

Contempt for others

Based on their ethical and moral views

Ego's a motherfucker

Let's take it down a peg or two, won't you?

When I think too hard on this

I get a little bit Nihilistic

And whats the truth and wheres the proof?

Dig deep to find your own fake news

Perhaps it's that we're too far gone

And this play it goes on and on

We spin, we wail, we laugh, we cry

Save tears for the good old times gone by.
