To be born with a forlorn hope
For some fate better than the end of a burning rope
Beneath us buried dreams, so tread carefully
From possibility to mediocrity
I'm killing time in decline
Self-regard is a noble cause
The planet dances in circles for my applause
A walking victory for apex heredity
A life's ambition in futility
Just killing time in decline
Handed everything and wanting more
Bound by ignorance I pace the floor
Living killing time
I am the true anointed
The seldom disappointed
Never at risk of failing
And no apologizing
A break but never maker
A useless resource taker
A dying leaf on a dead branch on a dead tree
Monkey do as monkey see
I embrace the ape in me
Care not what comes after me
A cancer on society
