COUNTERPUNCH LYRICS

"Guardrails"

So far so quick to accept the teachings you define as right. Round pegs in such square holes. Retrofitted and stripped of all we know or loved. A tragedy played out for all to witness. The breeding out the drawing in. Moving forward before we begin to fade out. These days I find I’m living in shades of grey and I’m just fine with where I am; not another broken piece in a broken system. I’m not listening when you say there’s something wrong with where I am or what I’ve done. This is where I belong. Sterilized and medicated down. Over worked and underpaid in this place that we call home. Asked to accept and do our part a reverse renaissance at heart. Keep it down but let it play. Moving forward before we begin to fade out. These days I find I’m living in shades of grey and I’m just fine with where I am; not another broken piece in a broken system. I’m not listening when you say there’s something wrong with where I am or what I’ve done. This is where I belong. This is who I should be. So let’s keep it honest. We’re all damaged goods. Selling out though we swore we never would. Round peg, square hole. We don’t fit and we know. These days I find I’m living in shades of grey and I’m just fine with where I am; not another broken piece in a broken system. These days I find I’m living in shades of grey.
