Let It Slip Away

On an endless treadmill moving fast but going nowhere Carelessly I see all others follow Bearing down to make some ground, I see their efforts falter Passion with a purpose Hard to swallow Careless, condescending types They really make me nervous I just don't understand that state of mind Telling lies and searching for some useless information While never knowing what they hope to find I hope that soon We can change It's not too late All the hopes and all the dreams And all the inspiration How can we just let it slip away All the promises we made To future generations How can we just let it slip away Drowning it a selfish, centered vision of a lifetime Here today with no thought of tomorrow With no consideration for the ones we leave behind us Forgetting what we take We only borrow We can't go on With no regard For what we do All the hopes and all the dreams And all the inspiration How can we just let it slip away All the promises we made To future generations How can we just let it slip away All the hopes and all the dreams And all the inspiration How can we just let it slip away All the promises we made To future generations How can we just let it slip away
