Lyrics

We live on borrowed time, hope turned to dust,

We live in a precarious situation, and our hope has turned into disappointment and despair.

Nothing is forgiven we fight for every crust.

Forgiveness is hard to come by, and we struggle for even the basic necessities of life.

The way we are is not the way we used to be my friend,

We have changed from what we used to be, and the current state of things is different from the past.

All things come to he who waits, the waiting never ends.

Patience is rewarded, but the waiting seems endless.


We are the chosen few; we are the frozen crew,

We consider ourselves a select group facing difficult circumstances.

We don’t know what to do, just wasting time.

Uncertainty prevails, and we feel lost, unsure of what actions to take, wasting time.

We don’t know when to quit, we don’t have room to spit,

We persist even when it seems impossible, lacking space even to express our frustration.

But we’ll get over it, get back in line.

Despite challenges, we will overcome and persevere, getting back on track.


Stuck here ten thousand years, don’t know how to act,

We are stuck in a seemingly eternal predicament, struggling to adapt.

Everything forgotten, specially the facts.

Memories fade, especially important facts, as time passes.

The way we live is running scared; I don’t like it much,

Our current way of life is filled with fear and discomfort, and we don't appreciate it.

All things come to he who waits but these days most things suck.

While patience is a virtue, the present times are mostly unpleasant.


We are the chosen ones, we don’t know right from wrong,

We feel chosen but lack a clear sense of right and wrong, unaware of what's happening around us.

We don’t know what’s going on, don’t know enough to care.

Our understanding is limited, and we are indifferent due to a lack of knowledge.

We are the dogs of war; don’t even know what for,

We are involved in conflicts without a clear purpose, obedient to the law, conforming to societal norms.

But we obey the law, get back in line.

Despite our situation, we conform and get back in line as expected.


We are trapped in luxury, starving on parole,

We are trapped in a seemingly comfortable but unfulfilling existence, bound by obligations.

No one told us who to love, we have sold our souls.

We have compromised our principles for material gain, losing a sense of self.

Why do we vote for faceless dogs? We always take the bait.

We blindly follow leaders without questioning, falling into traps without realizing.

All things come to he who waits, but all things come too late.

While patience is advocated, waiting often leads to missed opportunities.


We are the sacrifice, and we don’t like advice,

We are the ones making sacrifices, resistant to advice, always paying a price.

We always pay the price, pearls before swine.

We endure hardships, offering valuable things to those who don't appreciate them.

Now we are only slaves, already in our graves,

We are essentially slaves, already in a state of decay, and religious beliefs might not bring salvation.

And if you think that Jesus saves, get back in line.

If one expects salvation, it might be futile, and the reality is to conform to societal expectations.

If you think that Jesus saves, get back in line.

Reiterating the idea that relying on religious beliefs for salvation might not be the solution.
