Should I care if tomorrow comes,

Contemplating the significance of the arrival of tomorrow.

Give a nickel to some charity,

should I even bother ?

The earth rotates continually, so cold and systematic,

Highlighting the vastness of the universe and our limited understanding of it.

But down here we're narrow-minded, there's trouble 'n pain.

Take a good look around you, tell me what you see.

Are things the way they really ought to be ?

Pondering whether the current state of things aligns with the ideal or expected.

See the "bourgeois" staring daggers at the beggar in the street,

Observing societal divisions and the disparity between the wealthy and the beggars.

Criticizing hypocrisy in praising a divine figure while showing disdain for the less fortunate.
