Mediocracy


Shatter the crown

Scatter the pieces

In this world we live in,

Strength is a weakness

 

Preach, "Chase for your dreams!"

But then curse ambition

Being equal in failure

Is this country's true mission

 

What are we changing?

Forward to what?

Fight the successful?

Have our Medicare cut?
