look through these empty eyes and past the desolation in them is realized the drama of frustration taken paths worn down with life, sanctified with tension oh, the glory of a working day is glory only to the bossman time will tell if time is standing by my side and life will blink its eyes as I work myself blind we hide ourselves in a blur of lust, liquor and nostalgia tramp down the gravel on our streets like passive strikers take a pint of sins to wash away what you should be guilty conscience but guilt is somewhere far and away to shrug the system is how we like it
