no time for the roses - lyrics by LEW DITE

IN THESE ECONOMIC TIMES THESE LYRICS SAY IT ALL

We're rushing through life
To get what we need
We're told by the God-screen
Our soul it will feed
It's thoroughly packaged
For mass appeal
And if you don't have one
Then you ain't for real

Well, we're over produced
And we're misunderstood
No time for the roses
Or a walk in the wood
Talk to a neighbor
Or see the night sky
Or ask the big question
Why this... oh why?

Attitude we're told
Is all that it takes
Kick ass, come first
And don't make mistakes
The world is shrinking
Not room for us all
And only the winners
Escape from the fall

The capitalist system
Well, it works for a while
Raises expectations
Creates its own style
But I think it's over
It will no longer do
Further exploitation
Is bad for me and you
