The People of Today

Intro:

Running around in circles again seems I’ve lost my way

It’s a daily occurrence that I can’t just wait

To be over with and thrown out the door



Verse One:

The people they laugh wildly pointing their fingers

Telling me that they don’t really care

When as for the people who have lost their dear children

Too bad for them they are all standing right there…



Chorus:

It seems like I have lost all of my sense of direction

I have ran to the end of my road

People keep screaming

Changing life’s meaning

I don’t know which way to go

So I’ll stop and I’ll fall

This is the end of my road



Verse Two:

For the rest of the people they try to admit

Who’s at fault who is wrong and right

They tell me who to love who to hate

Who to worship who to date

But I think that it is all up to me



Chorus:

It seems like I have lost all of my sense of direction

I have ran to the end of my road

People keep screaming

Changing life’s meaning

I don’t know which way to go

So I’ll stop and I’ll fall

This is the end of my road



Verse Three:

Within a lifetimes worth of the regrets and the pain

We all suffer like dogs in the rain.

The people they still point their fingers

But you will never hear me complain.



Bridge:

To humanity comes humility

And to life great responsibility

And to the rest of us all just regrets



To the human race appears a face

Never looked upon before

All the losers they just shut their doors…



Chorus:

It seems like I have lost all of my sense of direction

I have ran to the end of my road

People keep screaming

Changing life’s meaning

I don’t know which way to go

So I’ll stop and I’ll fall

This is the end of my road



Outro:

I will forever stop and fall

This is the end of my road…
