How wonderful How wonderful. How can this be wonderful... Please stay tuned. Save your receipt Let's manufacture more deceit Charge it. Bill it. Order now. Enjoy it quick, it's sure to wow Then be replaced. Be replaced. Be replaced. Go grab a pen. Sign by the X Spill that ink into your checks. Hurry up. More. More. More. Take a peak at what's in store; Another golden chance at greed Indulge your wants, ignore your need. Ignore your need. Ignore your need. Work long. Act fast. Please be rash. Stocks and bonds. Gold and cash. Credit cards. Neon signs Drive through lanes and checkout lines First-class flights. The quick express... A journey to the great excess. The great excess The great excess Of shame. For shame. Somewhere in this world, it beams The long forgotten, simple dreams Of childhood. Of right and wrong. The innocence of hope and song. Isn't this where we belong Where we belong. Where we belong? But no. It all went wrong. One life. One world. Is this the best that we can do? |

Yo dear Darker Season, One life, in one world is what everyone is allotted. That's enough for anyone. What you see is what you get. Love Bobby |
