Scattered

When the dust that has settled Gets scattered again When the road that's been traveled Splits and it bends When the comfort's disturbed And comes to an end Where do we go? Where do we begin? Oh, the rug that we stand on Is pulled swiftly out And we fall down the chasm And we scream and we shout But no one is listening And we're all on our own No more than children That the world deems as grown They say that we're the future While they chain us to the past And pray that they stay blameless When their judgment comes at last They leave us scared and stranded In a world that they have burned It's exactly how they planned it They reap what they don't earn Exalt your inner demons Extort your inner child Give into the system And forget how to smile Live your life on overdrive And never rest at all Lest you fall behind They run while you crawl Things are getting rough out there Maybe stay inside Feel the shame of being scared You better run and hide How did it get this way? Oh, what have we done? Now the world is ending Before it had begun They say that we're the future While they chain us to the past And pray that they stay blameless When their judgment comes at last They leave us scared and stranded In a world that they have burned It's exactly how they planned it They reap what they don't earn
