The homeless go to work, looking to buy a smile, but no matter how many dimes they grab, they’ll never drive a car.
Kids in school to get miseducated, a wife sucking stress, getting medicated, making her dislocated.
Dad, where did all your dreams go, I seem them slipping out your head into other people’s flow?
When you stand in a crowd, do you know who you are? Or are you someone else’s eyes stacked in a big, black jar?
The good times scent the past. With tears that reek and wreak, it's a future so bleak that it can only be called vast.
Are you voting the same again, wearing the fool’s brave mask?
First few stanzas remind me of James McMurty's "We Can't Make it Here Anymore"

The The - in the 80s - sang that the UK is another state of the USA. Not quite right. Pilgrims Society and Privy Council pull the strings for The Crown Corporation.
