common sense doesn't make sense
busy people crowding up the streets like flood
second place is a disgrace
be a winner with an aftertaste of mud

only fools live by the rules
climbing up the ladder pull down all the rest
tell a lie after you smile
when you shake their hand the money does it best

I look in your face to find a trace of innocence
the little kid I used to know is gone is lost
somewhere you broke your resolution
I look in your eyes to realize to understand
the way you've gone you seem to run around
a silver maze without a clear solution

never lend to anyone's friend
you'll be better if somebody else is worse
get a car you won't drive far
turn the music louder just to kill remorse

keep the pace in the rat race
reach the finish line before your final breath
dice have rolled gather your gold
you can kiss it in the hour of your death


seek His Kingdom first
And His righteousness
All the rest shall be
given unto you
