Sick of having to compromise
My morals and beliefs
I’m sick of institutionalised
Corruption and deceit
Decisions, decisions; ‘it’s all fair’ you see,
But ‘fair’ isn’t fair, between you and me.
No pain, no gain, earmarked again,
But what else do you expect?
You’re a tiny fish in the shark’s domain,
There’s no such thing as respect.
Word hard, lie harder, that’s the motto
Be the best act around
Tell them ‘there’s always tomorrow,’
‘Opportunity abound’
Decisions, decisions; ‘it’s all fair’ you see
But ‘fair’ is unfair, between you and me
No pain, no gain, earmarked again,
But what else do you expect?
You’re a tiny fish in the shark’s domain
There’s no such thing as respect.
Bite your tongue and swallow your pride,
It’s all part of the game.
They say ‘your turn will come in time’,
But how long can I wait?
Delusions, Illusions; it’s not fair you see,
Enough is enough, if you ask me.
No pain, no gain, walk out again,
‘Cos what else do you expect?
Just a tiny fish in a shark’s domain,
Life is too short for regrets.
