Of Common Guilt

So you still think that we are the same

You can’t live with extra weight of shame

You think what you did applies on all of us

Hiding behind us from the pain

And I’m waiting someone to see that we are not to blame

And I’m starting to realize that no one would

Shielded by structure makes you brave

Address your failures in plural mode

Suddenly useful, for once not a slave

We’re made to swear on the code

And I’m waiting someone to see that this is just a charade

And I’m starting to realize that you know well

You know what to do, what to say

While crowd points at us you move away

You know where to run, where to hide

So you can come back when all this fades

Like a snake

Sleek as you’ve learned to be

Like a snake

If you can’t bite you just disappear

Beyond all moral fears

Like a snake

Someone else can always shed the tears

Tears are the sign of the weak

Nothing emotive should leak

It’s not correct to admit that you have failed

Failure is a system thing

We can’t be right

We do not see the wider perspective

We didn’t see enough

We’d be replaced

Sleek as you’ve learned to be

Like a snake

If you can’t bite you just disappear

Beyond all moral fears

Like a snake

Someone else can always shed the tears

And I’m waiting someone to see that this is just a charade

And I’m starting to realize that you know well

You know what to do, what to say

While crowd points at us you move away

You know where to run, where to hide

So you can come back now

Like a snake

Sleek as you’ve learned to be

Like a snake

If you can’t take it you disappear

Beyond all moral fears

Like a snake

Someone else can always grit the teeth
