At our best, still so perverse
Twisted and cursed - by the very verse
We had our chance but we made it worse
Living in reverse - have we ever heard
Just one word
Of the lessons ignored In all this time have I not learned
You never get what you deserve
In all this time have I not worked
Yet receive not one reward
In all this timethe lessons ignored Silence now. Afraid to speak
Afraid to teach. Will we ever reach?
All this stings like another scheme
Caught in between a bitter dream
What have we done?
Will the lessons weve heard In all this time have I not learned
You never get what you deserve
In all this time have I not worked
Yet receive not one reward
In all this time that Ive endured
A world thats so unsure
In all this time have I not earned
A respect for this words
In all this timethe lessons ignored
