what will prove to be our big mistake?
A - C - G F# E D
short sighted arrogance all for what sake?
A - C - G - D
our families to ashes, our ambitions to dust
A - C - D
our progeny in silence thinking "what about us?"

E - C - D
but don't forget the dance of neglect

E - C - G - D
the march for empowering prosperity
E - C - G - D
the pain from loss and want for more lucidity

just maternal residue, and I was there too
E
and maybe so were you


when something is won it comes with sacrifice
it's there beneath the joy, the glory and pride
and rarely it's acknowledged but in positive light
consciously omitting the losers' plight


but don't forget the dance of neglect

the craving for community that never was met
the longing for status and the overture of regret
with no one to deter, pathetically unsure
forgetting who they were
