Day in day out... will this ever change?
The lowest men speak of the highest schemes
And they dream their technicolor dreams
But at the gates, what have they to show?
A million cries for another day
Beg for a chance to do all they said
You'll wind up dead
Before you've chased these dreams you're dreaming
Your clock is running out
Live or die, make your choice now
And at the salesman's funeral nobody cried
Because for every tear shed, another dream dies
We all talk big but we all live a lie
Are you willing to break this away?
Are you willing to face the day?
Lose the smoke and mirrors, open the blinds
Look around, and what you'll have to find
The empty broken bottles in your way
This is the life you're living
While you dream your brilliant dreams
Now can't you see?
Self medicate the nightmare
But will you make it out?
Live or die, make your choice now.

(...i didn't think so.)
