running on empty

Let’s say it’s just my point of view,

The lies that we live, are starting to show through.

I turn on the television and I don’t see no truth.

I see a lot of rating whores abuse to sell the advertiser’s noose, and now we’re hanging by a thread.

We might be running on empty, sitting behind our desks and blinking at our screens,

A long week of work, a longer month, I’m just trying to get through this year,

Sometimes it’s overwhelming all this misery in this world,

But apathy is not the answer just try and care a little more.

They’re shoveling fear down our throats,

And spinning a picture, and covering their holes.

Who makes all of your decisions, are you sure you’re in control?

Because there are two sides to the story, one’s selling souls, one’s selling glory,

What does your moral compass read?

We might be running on empty, sitting behind our desks and blinking at our screens,

A long week of work, a longer month, I’m just trying to get through this year,

Sometimes it’s overwhelming all this misery in this world,

But apathy is not the answer just try and care a little more.

I just feel erased, a pin that never stays, a photo that keeps falling off each time it is replaced.

A voided out receipt, returned for something sweeter,

My teeth are rotting out from all the sugar they keep selling me,

I swear we’re gonna have to pay for this, I swear we’re gonna have to pay.

We might be running on empty, sitting behind our desks and blinking at our screens,

A long week of work, a longer month, I’m just trying to get through this year.

Sometimes it’s overwhelming all this misery in this world.
