conditioned .. stone cold

hardened .. giving precious time

few sane .. ponder selves

lined up .. life's demands

must take care of me .. me .. me

it's a full-time job

sane few .. still ponder

what to do .. what can be done

to right sad life's wrongs

slaving days .. nights .. days

barely time to breathe .. thinking

few sane .. all insane

it seems contagious

nowhere to run .. nor to hide

give in .. give it up
