human life has gotten to the point where we are wasting it.
In my mind I'm alive

it's what helps me survive

in these terrible times

when the life of a man

costs less then a dime

in those times i do what i can

for i have given everything

for what i love

when these times end

my life will be taken

for my life has been forsaken

and given to the man

who committed a crime

that cost less then a dime
