paper weight

you tell me we still have time
but what are we gonna do with it?
is it something more to waste away?
are you gonna furrow your brow and look concerned
then turn and walk away?

ignore the clock
another tanker on the rocks

you tell me we still have time
but what are we gonna do with it?
is it just something more to throw away?
will you shuffle some papers and hold meetings
then shrug and walk away?

ignore the obvious
but at what cost?

so you made it through the doors
but what have you done?
nothing worth mentioning
no, you ain't nothing worth mentioning
just another opportunist
a soul-less fuck
bells should be ringing
but they're not

and time just goes by (what's logic without compassion?)
another species dies (what's logic without compassion?)

and how can you poison everything
and say that's the price you've gotta pay?
how can you sell us out
and just go about your day?
and how the fuck can you
sleep at night?
just another opportunist (you betrayed us all)
a soul-less fuck (you know you betrayed us all)
