"Certain unease in the air"

Watching the rat race roll by,
cars fill the streets
there's no one using their feet
except the hungry defeated ones
aiming guns at their cranium
attempting to exterminate themselves
from this life as they fill with strife
be it a husband or a wife
everyone's fed up
can't you feel a certain unease in the air?
most of them expect things to be fair
most expect others to care
and to give their share
though most wouldn't dare
to sacrifice what's their's
suffice to say we're selfish
and helpless
stressed most of all
I can feel it
we're stressed as fuck
I know I feel stuck
Watching the rat race roll by
Cars fill the streets
no one using their feet
no one out walking they're
just behind the wheel
moving along to the next destination
stuck in that traffic frustration
alarming levels of alienation
and constant aggravation
maybe, maybe not
Who knows
I know
I don't
