Nowadays Lyrics

I lose a bit of faith each day

But each week a little bit is regained

Yet the ratio seems to be off weight

And it feels like we're too late

To make real change

It keeps slippin away

Another day another dollar

But talk like that man shit

That really is the problem

And that's period

We ain't got room for no comma

I'm serious

We need a way to reclaim our honor

Cause nowadays everything's

About money

Nowadays is about

What you can get from me

Nowadays

Ain't nobody seem to care

They all chalk it up to this life ain't fair

Cause nowadays everything's

About greed

How can we make less for you

So there's more for me

Nowadays

It's a game of monopoly

Fuck where you need to live

Cause I'm collecting properties

Everythings so divided

Well fuck Trump

And fuck Biden

And fuck republicans and democrats

On both sides alike then

Cause the world ain't black and white

Annnnd an eye for an eye

Makes the whole world go blind

So what's the price to save a life

That you ain't livin in

I bet it's less than the price tag

Of a Mercedes' Benz

And I'd be lying if I said I never stayed up at night crying

Tears rolling past my eye lids

While I'm staring at the sky

Wonder when's it gonna be my time

How long will I survive

And what's the meaning of this life that we're living in

I've been thinking back on it

Asking for forgiveness for the sins I've been committing

Ever since I was kid

Take away a couple lessons

I can pass on to my kin

Hopefully they don't make the same mistakes that we did

Yeah

Are you listening children

Give me a penny for my thoughts

And I'll give you my two cents

I'm apologizing in advance

For the way we left this mess

Cause nowadays everything's

Entertainment

Nowadays a paycheck

Can't even pay rent

Nowadays

More arguments then debatin

They just slip hidden agendas in legislation

Cause nowadays everything's

About profit

Wish we could stop playing games

And just pause it

Nowadays

Everyones so offended

Call it anti-social media

And stop pretendin

The other day my buddy told me

It's a dog eat dog world out there No joking

You better go and get yours

Before you get got

Then I stopped and thought

Are those the only options that we got

And you can't even try to blame me for being cautious

Of the machine that my sons been brought in

They still got the nerve to ask me why I haven't bought in yet

Where's my portfolio

Of investments

Why I haven't taken homes

From families that need them

Just to put them up for rent

So they can cut me a check

To fund my retirement

So I can become a cyst

And not a participant

Of community were consuming
