Oh Simplicity

Oh, where did the simple life go, there once was a time when life was slow. Now, time is money and the flavor of life has gotten a bit funny. You can run but you can't hide; you have to pick a side. The cool country stream has lost it's gleam and the men in power are more than just old and sour. The concrete and steel scrape the sky in a place once seen as pure and surreal. 

Oh, where did the simple life go, where time was life; now both have a copyright. We once pushed the boundaries of persistence, now it's the limits of human existence. We loved our country and it's story; now it could all be gone in a blaze without glory. We seek our own answers and the truth is treated like a cancer.

The simple life is gone, somewhere along the line something went wrong. Simplicity is no more and the world is closing time's door. Millions die and mothers cry as leaders continue to lie. Simplicity was replaced with complexity and compassion with self-pity. Oh, would you look at the condition; it all started with a lack of submission. This is our generation, chosen; with the masses in fear completely frozen. Open your eyes and hear these cries, there are still a few looking to the skies.
