Small Victories

Just how much of this will you all allow

To go on?

What will it take for you to realize you're wrong?

Oh, so wrong

He fought with him, who fought with her

Who denied the knowledge of what those altercations were

All the lies and the sighs

This was not so reassuring

But all is well and all is merry

Even when the times are scary

Every generation is the same

Resulting in this fear illusion

Is a void that breeds confusion

Leading to a population tame

I understand demand

And know there're no guarantees

But we've been built a world that's full of small victories

I've been waiting for a light to shine my way

Every day

No one understands a word of what I say

"Go away"

"I rule the sun and all the stars"

Say the sons and daughters whose parents bought them getaway cars

To ignore inner war that is building up inside them

From the mountains to the prairies

Everything is looking scary

But the lot around me feel no pain

They live their days in mass delusion

While I coddle my seclusion

Knowing that they're all laughing at Shane

I understand demand

And know there're no guarantees

But we've been built a land that's full of small victories
