Small Victories

Just how much of this will you all allow To go on? What will it take for you to realize you're wrong? Oh, so wrong He fought with him, who fought with her Who denied the knowledge of what those altercations were All the lies and the sighs This was not so reassuring But all is well and all is merry Even when the times are scary Every generation is the same Resulting in this fear illusion Is a void that breeds confusion Leading to a population tame I understand demand And know there're no guarantees But we've been built a world that's full of small victories I've been waiting for a light to shine my way Every day No one understands a word of what I say "Go away" "I rule the sun and all the stars" Say the sons and daughters whose parents bought them getaway cars To ignore inner war that is building up inside them From the mountains to the prairies Everything is looking scary But the lot around me feel no pain They live their days in mass delusion While I coddle my seclusion Knowing that they're all laughing at Shane I understand demand And know there're no guarantees But we've been built a land that's full of small victories
