take it on
the chin
that attitude
will get you nowhere
in this world
of give and take
and take
most people
forget to give
modern
apologies are running behind the times
it's easier to
shift blame, but that's okay
apologies
almost always slip away
ignored
you have to
expect more
than you'd
ever be willing to give
in this new
wave world of new ways to get ahead
there's always
someone one step faster than you
did you forget
your manners
I'd understand
if you were never raised with them
It's better
for you to just forget
When someone
falls down, than to lend a helping hand
In these days
of watching out for the only one that matters
It's hard to
remember exactly where we're from
And it baffles
my mind to think of where we've come
It's time to
prove that you're a man
You've got to
or you're nothing
Don't worry
about who you hurt on the way up
I'm not
claiming to be perfect
But I've seen
this too many times
And it
frightens me
To think of
where we're going
It scares me
to think of the falling value of humanity
