about

Things are serious. Written in some very odd time (musically)

(Español) Las cosas son serias. Compuesto con compases no tan comunes

lyrics

I was raised and pampered
in a good old fashioned modern way
I was taught the rules of how we ought to play
If you stop and think about it
it's nothing really new
But somehow we forgot
this frase so really true

Shouldn't we play for keeps
did we forget
Playing for keeps means no regrets

Looking around these days
the world about us has gone wild
Nobody seems to care now
we all seem to have gone blind
Shouldn't we care for where we're living
it's our home we're blowing up
We're running on the wrong faith
we can't rely on our good luck

Chorus

We're betting on the wrong horse
we're playing it wild
Have we gone out of our minds
we're heading for the darkest night
Foolishly we push and shove
we're aiming way too high
Doesn't anybody see
we're running out of time

Chorus

Hey you guys that govern
the ones that (should) really care
None of you speak out
very few of you seem to dare
The numbers rule and money
rolls in in huge amounts
Well it's what have to eat and breathe
when nothing's left around
