Ever thought you got it all inside out, muddled, mixed up,

Like life's had one big fit or hiccup?

We wonder how it ended up this way,

We don't remember giving life permission, having a say.

We ponder how we wound up in this mess,

People are let down, now life's one lonely stress.

It's now we have time to reflect, how we got here,

For there's no way out, or forgiveness we fear.

Sure, the vast amounts of money tempted us,

The power gave us a right buzz,

The popularity got us excited,

Not to mention the fame kept us delighted.

But now we've had an epiphany, a shocking revelation, finally realize,

It's so clear, so simple, impossible to disguise,

We got it all wrong, misplaced our priorities.

We let you down so bad you should've called the authorities.

We now know what was really important, irreplaceable, really mattered,

And for you those pointless superficial things we've now scattered.
