Watching

Waiting

Anticipating

 

Sneaking

Striking

Exterminating

 

Grudging

Hating

Interrogating

 

In reality

We’re just

Wasting our time

 

Uphill battle beckons

Approach with confidence

Use our optimistic glasses

Everything is rosy

Everything is dandy

Everything will go our way

 

Chorus

 

Our goal just slips away

We don’t see it coming

Thinking all is going our way

Ignore the warning signs

Pretend they are not there

Until it hits, crushing our spirits

 

Chorus

 

We are battered and scarred

Still have some fight in us

We won’t give up so easily

Try to get up again

Thinking we may just do it

As the boot comes crashing down

 

Chorus
