Fatalism

The way things are
I'll never get to do those things I've always dreamed -
That is my star,
I shan't be any more than I have always seemed.
Life's too bizarre,
The way things are.

The way things are
Girls will become young women, women will grow old
And bear the jarr
Of boys who just grew older, boys will become boys, old -
With big toy car,
The way things are.

The way things are
An eye for eye, a tooth for tooth, a lie for lie
A war for war.
No truth for truth which forms an angry cry
From earlier scar
The way things are.

The way things are
Folk will believe in God, Jehovah, Allah, Jah...
Christ the Messiah
But reciprocity just in seminar
Not Shalimar
The way things are.
