lyrics

It's easier to come off pessimistic
But looking with a clear mind always has it's ways
I was just a kid when it all hit me
Being 13 back when
The hell did I know then?
I saw a lot more than I should have
But now I recognize that face when I see it on strangers
Cop a smile, it wasn't money needed
Keep all your change, conceded

My understanding is publicly grasping for some sort of air
While I'm stuck in the depths of my own past decisions
But I kept my mouth shut
And looked out for your solace before mine

Why can't we defend the average man?

You want change? It's right in front of your face
Pick pocketing the poor makes a lethal circle
It really pisses me off, just lend genuine help
What left came back around

Separating the class never does anything, just creates more conflict on it's own
Break down the wall holds our unity
Don't want to be your sycophant anymore
