Giving Up

I just let it all get away from me
And let the mayhem wash over me
The loss of hope brings a peace of mind
It can't go any more wrong
Don't try to set the course
Or set the record straight
It's going to happen anyway
So sit back and let it take you away
No way to make it right
So don't even try
Get comfy in your chair
And kiss your ass goodbye
The loss of control brings a certain peacefulness
Since it's no longer in your hands
The ship will go where it wants to steer
Enjoy the scenery as it draws near
Remember
You're not responsible
But they're going to blame you anyway
They blame the ones who try and fail
As well as the ones who fail to try
They blame everyone but themselves
The rich and powerful
Accept no responsibility
For the things they set in motion
Always one step removed
They give the orders
And blame the ones who carry them out
When things don't go quite to plan
The powerful chastise the weak
And evermore and ever so
Nothing changes
Nothing ever will
So accept your station in life
Accept that you have no real power
Sit back and enjoy
The ride of your life
