Songtext von Short-lived

In and out of boxes And herded into packs Get swept away on a current to mediocrity Forcing pleasure visually, not offending their ears - How tedious Maximum restriction, Minimum enlightenment - How tedious Approval to be worthwhile Toiling to make the grade Don't relax on a wide view Seek pardon toward the grave In and out of boxes And herded into packs Get swept away on a current of inadequacy Swallowing what's 'right' and 'wrong' Grasping the unproven rule - How tedious Approval to be worthwhile Toiling to make the grade Don't relax on a wide view Seek pardon toward the grave Living to actually live Mercy without faith's weight I'll relax on a wide view No apologies toward my grave Drudgery prevails on the checklist of faith So little time given moral restraints Cut loose the sinners who can barely be named Drudgery prevails on the checklist of faith
