Falling Off The Edge

Life's fallen
For so many since graduation
One's forgotten
Swept out by the tides of change
Those promised
Better lives through education
Time's rotten
So many are thrown away

The nerd, he studied
And never missed a day of school
He went to college
And now he's a coke head
His job, he lost it
For now he is chasing
The youth he wasted
And now he is jaded

Time's changing
For so many though by surprise
Their live's wasting
In a world that will eat you alive
The gears turning
They won't stop if you're jammed in
Our youth, fading
I just sit back and I watch them die

The jock balling
He went to school on a full ride
His knee failed him
The army would take him
He served his country
And made a name for himself
His counscious, it failed him
In the barracks he's hanging

The world will eat us all alive and no one thinks it's fair
Your valedictorian could just drown in his despair
The one that sat alone at lunch became a millionaire
The teacher that everyone loved he's missing it in jail
His victims cannot sleep at night
Their lives are a living hell
And the ones that made it to the end are wondering who is next
They're wondering if they're next

They're falling off the edge
They're falling off the edge
They're falling off the edge
They're falling off the edge
They're falling off the edge
They're falling off the edge
They're falling off the edge
They're falling off the edge
