usually trespassing - down in the dumps

Call me a cynic but
We're all pieces of shit
And there's nothing that
You or me can do about it
Get eight billion signatures
And just as much luck
Unless the bills have green faces
The politicians won't give a fuck
The systems not broken
It's flawed by design
At least that's what it looks like
From below the poverty line
We're sleeping with rats
And we're eating up scraps
While vacations and bonuses
Fall into their laps
So waste your life away
And die in a ditch
All you'll hear them say
Is "it's not my fault you're not rich"

I'm not scared of hell
And I'm not scared of death
So I throw my only dime in a well
And wish for my last breath
Don't take my word for it
But if hell exists
I'm betting my money
That it's better than this

Newspapers filled
With ways people have died
While the rich fucks that own them
Commit crimes of all kinds
They know we're not watching
Cause we're so pacified
We're at home locking our doors
While we're drawing our blinds
I was told to go vote
Maybe that would change things
But the names on the ballots
Aren't pulling the strings
Politicians are like drugs
They're easily bought
So make enough money
And you write the laws

Well I'm not scared of hell
And I'm not scared of death
So I throw my only dime in a well
And wish for my last breath
Don't take my word for it
But if hell exists
I'm betting my money
That it's better than this

So I sit and let these thoughts
Just run through my head
While a cigarette soothes
The existential dread
So much shit in the world
That it outweighs the good
While they lie in our faces
Saying we did what we could
Can't pick myself up
I'm down in the dumps
Hate to say it
But we're all out of luck
In a world filled with hate,
Wars, disaster, and Trump
I can't help but feeling
We're all gonna be fucked

I'm not scared of hell
And I'm not scared of death
So I throw my only dime in a well
And wish for my last breath
Don't take my word for it
But if hell exists
I'm betting my money
That it's better than this
