The House, The System, The Concrete

Lyrics

Coughed in the evening it might be leading To a cold my God I hope not I can't miss a single day at the office Set the alarm for me dear The house Is where he found warmth The concrete As his roads were paved The system By those he succeeded Still he gave his undying devotion to The house Is where the family stayed The concrete As they confirmed their love The system And counted their exemptions Still he gave his undying devotion to The house Is where he felt tranquil The concrete And rest his weariness The system From his long days of deception Still he gave his undying commitment to The sewer The image of such vast beginnings The gutter One step closer to The sidewalk To stride upon his crumbling arch Cherishing his illusive victory As it would be for necessities sake To wallow in one's abandon Given up on a luxurious life For the sake of comforting thoughts
