The Real Dope

Post by audiofool » Thu Jul 03, 2014 10:53 pm

Time marches forward
into the abyss
losers like us
were born for times like this

you've got a problem
a tough nut to crack
an open book
read from front to back

cut so thin
nothing's gone to waste
not a matter of money
but a question of taste

in the rush to war
many volunteers
here on the fence
harder than first appears

when all's said and done
what's left to discuss?
times like these were made
for losers like us

comb through the ruins
we'll plant seeds of hope
when the party's over
break out the real dope

climb the ladder
all the way to hell
your golden calf
has served you well

betray your conscience
with a simple kiss
losers like us
were made for times like this.
