and it runs through your head
the same every day
your job is a bore
your in love with the hate
your wife has the ice...running in her veins
your kids look the same..they are lost in their money..pigskin wallets how ironic
life is brutal but intensely funny
and they dont hear or care
they are just part of the american nightmare
and you really shouldnt be so picky
i wouldnt be so concerned
its the dawn of everything living..and soon it will be your turn


 "you can have my isolation..you can have the hate that it brings
you can have my absence of faith..you can have my everything"

"so impressed with all you do..tried so hard to be like you..flew too high and burnt the wing..lost my faith in everything"

"I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,
And considerately killing me."

The Jackal

That doesn't only happen in america...it's human life.
