The best of them go on to a life of routine

The worst in a drug induced haze

Each on e searches for the next biggest thrill

While our flower-powered parents cashed in

They traded in their minds for power suits and cocaine

And they look to us to take of care of them

So build up to the sky

Ruining our mother earth looking for more

Facing an ever-present war

Against mankind

So now what?

As i listen to songs of childhood

With my naked body curled up somewhere

Thinking it's love

Realizing to late it's not wishing it was

Hearing stories of life

But continuing to feel passion run through me

Another day another dollar

Faceless faces roaming a hall

Thinging oh god this is my future

Why hide behind masks

While breathing pure air brings freedom

But what is pure anymore

how can pure be determined

it has to hurt a little bit

so when will we know

a generation of thinkers and philosophers

passing in front of blind eyes

a generation lost

morals lost

free love for everyone

an anthem of sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll

see where it has gotten us

a country led by a crumbling family

how can a country be stable when a family can't

what down this say to our brothers and fathers

but wait

what does this say to our sisters and mothers

the deeper you get the sweeter the pain

a country where sex is taboo

yet seems to be okay immorally

there is no "girl/guy next door"

nothing is pure

nothing is free

we are all just animals

in a huge rat race for a piece of cheese

what's our cheese

we knock down one another

never stopping to help

what good is the cheese if we can't reach it

is it death

even if it is what good is it

does it ease the pain of being alone

with so much to believe in, which one is right?

where are the thinkers and philosophers?

the answers?

how do I say all that I feel?

each generation never understanding the next

and we wonder why there is no peace

the hippies all knew it they understood

but they were the ones that probably brought us aids

so where's the peace in that

i'm waiting for that final moment

where i realize i'm standing naked in my classroom reading a report

a bell rings and i wake-up

lying next to love

feeling passion that burns deep inside

feeling him

feeling alive

breathing deep

knowing life is a one time shot

knowing that this is life

realizing the truth of society

exhaling the perfect kiss

living life for today

not caring what others think

being my own thinker

loving the philosopher

saying "screw the cheese"

where's my dream!!"
