Mantra of the day

All is said and done
In this day and age
nothing surprises
We're jaded souls
Mantra of the day

All is fair, anything goes
No moral compass
No guiding light
Milling in a crowd
Mantra of the day

Hollowed-eyes babies
Bombs and rabies
Our world is bad
We're all pretending
everything will be all right

Atomic weapons
Hardcore missiles
Hostile submarines
We're all pretending
Everything will be all right

Daisy cutters
Rifle smuggling
Holocaust nightmares
We're all pretending
Everything will be all right

We walk this earth
in survivor's mode
Camouflaged
chameleons
Behind lock and key
Shades and snarls
We'll never be
what we were born to be

We're hopelessly lost
at this midnight hour
‘Cause we choose to live
by oppressive rules
Mantra of the day
Yeah, go figure
Mantra of the day
