the awful truth If Life is a tree, we're just carving out our names.
If this World is a mental ward, we're the Criminally Insane.

beyond racists and wasted life
wasted nights and wasted fights

welfare lines, soup kitchens and panhandles
beyond all security systems
because we're all safe in the home that we're given
beyond all concept of "homelessness"
because the home you got is the people you with
