Unalloyed
lyrics by jamal
Wait for the sun
Then you slowly rise up and
Wash your face then you go downstairs
Prepare yourself for another day of the same
Until someone takes your place
All your life you live your life away
Okay, it’s mundane
Still you’re doing fine
Work is piling high
Oh, well. You’ve got time, time to
work all day just to earn your pay
Soon enough someone else will take your place
And then they will live this way
All your life you live your life away
Wait in a line
You read the daily times and your
Friends are all online
You speak to them from time to time
Waiting around for the end of the day
Soon enough you’ll finally have your pay
And then you can save and save
All your life you live your life away
Anyway you can
Until you find
There’s no love behind
The staring eyes of those you know
And what about
The hollowed stare from your own eyes
You hope for change, you wish for change
But it all stays the same
The space inside
I know just what you’d want to find
You hope for change, you wish for change
But it all stays the same
So clear your mind
And come together
In gladness unalloyed and pray
You hope for change, you wish for change
It’s somebody’s job collecting coins from floors of fountains
