I've felt dignified fortune before
  But the luck's not on my side today
  Burnt out, can't remember the score
  Success and reality have gone their separate ways
  I know it's hard
  When the solitary chain reaction buries me
  Confessed, second guessed
  I swallow the remains of my pride and my validity
    Now it's come to this
  I never thought I would hang so long
  I'm blaming everyone
  I was falling short all along
  At odds, but I try
  I know it ain't no Sunday drive
  Pressure, it bears down
  Distracts me from my life
    Penniless, but got the bills to pay
  Inferiority complex rations spent
  Working nine to five every day
  Sucks my time right through the social vent
  I can't make sense
  Of this systematic rat race marathon
  In time I realize
  My dreams for ideals and utopia have gone
