Balancing Survival And Happiness, Part I

In other people I've lost most faith
But who's to say I'm not viewed the same
In other people I've lost most faith
But who's to say I'm not viewed the same

Rescue me

I am in need
Because I want not need
Not feeding the hungry
No soothing relief
Look down on me
I am the worst of these
Because I beg for more
Knowing other's need

Applaud me
I'll bow
As I pat my own back
For thinking good thoughts
Tilt your nose up
The balancing act

Hang my head as these problems
Scream out
You selfish fuck
You selfish fuck
Children cry
People die
Countries fight and all I
Do is think of myself

Such is human nature
I've lost my way

But I was given two hands to help too
Human rights
Drone strikes
War
Public lies
What can I do?
What can I do?

In other people I've lost most faith
But I'm trying to fix my mistakes

We're all balancing survival and happiness
