The reality of human existance is nothing like the fantasy land we were promised as children
It all starts when they begin teaching you about jobs
There's inevitably some city scene drawn out
And everyone has their place
There's the fireman, policeman, mailman
There's always -- always! -- some helicopter pilot for no reason
There's the astronaut, the scientist
Possibly the soldier
They're all happy
Always smiling
Then you grow up and realize that everyone around you is drunk
And you see the nude homeless guy in the park washing his wang in the drinking fountain
Or the meth addict shuffling along with ratty hair and always a gray sweater
Or you just get made fun of or screamed at from a passing car
That is, when you're not sitting at your desk for 8 hours a day making someone else rich
Remember when they made it seem like it was the easiest thing in the world to win the rat race
Start a business
And everyone was so happy
Even the soldier
Thanks a lot, fuckers
It's not really their fault, though
They didn't want to believe it either
