Circle of Age
Standing by this mirror
and two people are staring
the two of them are caring.
Success and there is failure
i know i need to succeed
to fail a failure believes.
Keep looking all around me
this circle of destruction
this fire will cause eruption.
Same old man, the same old day
people rushing to their jobs
tick goes the clock no one stops.
I want to! I need to shine!
I cant become that old man
climbing high I know I can.
I see the dreams of glory
the luck I never tasted
bottle of rum am wasted.
Feeling like i cant take this
failing to reach the big stage
I keep circiling this cage.
Become just another man
one that grafts down the cole mines
a bright light but never shines.
No wages from the iron lady
she didnt break what a joke
Maggy she was never broke.
With no lights we couldn't shine
Maggy was ritch made of iron
circle this cage like a lion.
We cant bite, can't even fight
in the middle can't go straight
locked away we try to break.
Let me out. look! let me out
let the lion at thatcha
the workers will not catcha.
She will fall, keep falling
fall into the life we live
