Questions and exclamations
Searched for answers
on the dirty window pane
of a rickety inter-city bus
Looked at the world outside
That side's yours
This side's mine
And what about truth?
Hope's that weak
sporadic street light
Shining down self-righteously
on this street of busted dreams
Lives quickly turn sour
And passion grudgingly dies
inside those matchbox apartments,
scattered all along the highway
Everything's cut and dried
Everything's defined
There are rules to follow
There are images to maintain
And the naked truth
on a teenager's T-shirt
"Freedom's just another word
for nothin' left to lose"

Just another word...
"Looked at the world outside
