Poverty & Misery

Phrases are too powerful
And quotes taken too literal
When the world's too cynical
And not many aren't miserable
Cuz everyone is greedy
Everybody else is needy
With conversations heated
Everybody is defeated
Little kids are dying
Everybody else is trying
I'm simply simplifying
Any form of hope is lying
I'm fucking sick and tired
Of the fake smiles they've hired
That they're selling to the buyers
Who've recently been fired

Do I want to be happy or rich?
Maybe try and see it like this

Wealth provides stability
And happiness breeds fantasy
Neither one have favored me
I'm left with poverty and misery

Money gives you joy
And all the power fills the void
With life being your favorite toy
It's so easy to get annoyed
At all the imperfections
That cannot fit in sections
Being human is so wretched
When people miss the message
With all the meaning feeling lost
And you are broke from every cost
You roll the dice, your fate gets tossed
You're dabbling in pure chaos
Broadcasted through interwebs
The lies upon the internet
They're saying that you overstep
And drain the world of any pep

I'm not happy and I'm not rich
There's no alternative to this

Wealth provides stability
And happiness breeds fantasy
Neither one have favored me
I'm left with poverty and misery

I'm broke as hell and sad as fuck
I'm left without an ounce of luck
Some people can sympathize
But most tell me to dry my eyes
Cuz poverty and misery
Will always be the best I'll be
I live in grey, I'll die alone
Without a building to call home
