New Terms

Every thought and the words that weaken
Steals a part of what we're seeking

Scrolled the headlines today
Caught up in all the fray

The myth built to deflect
The truth we're meant to accept

You spent your time
Holding down the ones that shine
But you still decline
These new terms line by line

You spent your time
Holding down the ones that shine
But you still decline

New terms are what we're setting
New terms you're just not getting

New terms are what we're setting
New terms you're just not getting

We've met you
Many times
Thinking you're taking
The hardline

Bootstraps and land mines
All while you dine

Everything's just fine

Your hangers on
Lick the crumbs from your plates

They do your dirty work every time

When it's time to pay your karma
You'll try to decline

To save yourself

You'll make excuses and opine

To save yourself

Instead of die
You'll try to resign

To save yourself

When it's time to pay your karma
You'll try to decline

To save yourself

You'll make excuses and opine

We've set the new terms
You'll have to comply
