I saw the best people of my generation living
beyond their means
Who drove the brand new cars bought by their
parents
I saw the best people of my generation falling
into a hole where they are drowning
In the end they earn as much as they could
possibly and turn around and spend it foolishly
Driving in the fast lane where they make
unnecessary Starbucks stops
Waiting to drop and hours’ worth of pay on a luxury
treat
Pondering what could be the next major purchase
on their triple gold platinum
I saw the best people of my generation
conspiring what would be the next move to get ahead
Contemplating weather they can even afford
their life style and if how they’re living is worth it
I saw the best people of my generation taking
the newest antidepressant
Who research to find what pill can help them
become their ideal body
Because if a celebrity can endorse the product
it is the real deal
I saw the best people of my generation easing
their way into their death beads
Who and what are they are trying to impress is
beyond ones pondering question.
I saw the best people of my generation killing
themselves on puff at a time
Who can play the game and try to double their
losses
But in the end all they have left to is to run
Everything they have ever lived for is gone,
in the end material was sold back and they were left begging to survive.
I saw the best people living beyond their means, and those people now have nothing to show
It is funny how material objects are such a big part of American culture. I know I am subject to them.
ReplyDeleteIt really puts things in perspective to think that a Starbuck's drink or treat can equal an hour's worth of pay. It's sickening, really.
