Tickets to a Better Place

a thousand books remind us how the world drags on and on and on.
we read the books but we don’t grasp the meaning read between the lines.
part truth part tilted fiction, documents of endless history.
predictions for the future Armageddon seems to suit you.
don’t want to die, now do we?
were running in a desperate race.
don’t want to die, now do we?
just take us to a better place.
your’e thinking funny things when you look over see me standing here,
with words of hope guess you could say, I’m looking for a brighter day,
don’t ask me for a reason I can’t tell you what you want to hear,
it all you do is criticize, you don’t seem to realize don’t want to die now do
we?
were running in a desperate race don’t want to die now do we?
Just takes to a better place.
