There Were Hopes

Verse 1
Pay your way is what they used to say
Can’t no more there’s an uneven raise
Somethings changed, we’re not the same
Contempt rising & coursing through our veins

Chorus
How did we ever get like this
The common man now just a hypocrite
When did it ever turn into this
There were hopes for the future
But somehow we’ve missed

Verse 2
We seem to be fighting the same stupid fights
Nothing gets learned when insanity's right
When did we lose sight of good will & pride
Beat up a man instead of watching him thrive
Can’t help but feeling we’ve ruined this bliss
Once we’re all gone you know that we won’t be missed

Chorus Repeat

Verse 3
Never Thought i’d see a time
When the modern world believes all lies
Keep reading the rule book nothings working so far
All these moral dilemmas can’t be good for the heart
Things have changed but they’re still the same
Hopes ground into pieces & washed down the drain

Chorus Repeat
