A purpose greater than life, a purpose better than anything.
Sometimes life is more worth that the want of dying.
Whatever happened to values and the gift of receiving?
Kids nowadays want the rewards without the seeds they should be reaping.

Whatever happened to living young and retiring old?
Throwing out the window all of that we've been told.
No one wants to work, the ecomony is a bum.
Being hungover is better that the toxic work cult.

Nowadays we retire old and refuse to live.
Young or old, this ain't no way to give.
Give back the love, the love that you sold,
to the advicate your parents have warned and told.
