	When your concept retires
	Will you still know how to struggle
	Until your conscious is tired?
	Don't even guess if you're not sure.
	But be prepared for some variations
	And crooked conversations.
	But if your focus is bold
	You won't be guilty when you're old.
	The garbage they've been selling should not fail to your demands.
	And even if they're thoughtful, they don't care or understand
	Tell me why is this?
	And the more that was offered came slowly to a stop
	But the hint wasn't sent in the mail.
	And the banners that signed for it never had time for it
	And now it's distorted and stale.
	So the context was twisted and everyone missed it
	Except for the obvious sign.
	And the truth that they followed was empty and hollow
	But nobody spoke up in time.

	The truth that they swallowed was empty and hollow
