"Potential For A Fall"

Here's another tale, a replay of society's failures
Out for ourselves, bred to consume in pursuit of wealth
And the ones in charge, once secure show disregard
for future generations who must endure what's left behind

No compassion, no caution, no forethought
Potential for a fall
No forethought, no vision, no future
Potential for a fall
Go on about our lives as we turn a blind eye
as long as I get mine
Potential for a fall
Submissive, complacent, sit back and let it slip away
Just can't seem to hold it together

And yet we continue with the charade of being individuals
As we get spoon-fed, kept in check by the latest trends
Are we that shallow? Is getting your groove on all that matters?
I'm not asking you to bleed, but show consideration please

Sit back and let it slip away
We can't seem to hold it together
We can't seem to get it right

Wow, those are great lyrics! I have to plead ignorance on who "Sick of It All" are, though. Some clues for the clueless?

the lyrics are good but sick of it all are a bit, y'know, up their own arses.

ah well, each to his own i guess.

I find that, usually, the less I know about musicians/celebrities/people in general, the better off things are.
