We were young and had a thousand dreams
Long hair and buffed up self-esteems

Chasing rainbows , we set out to roam
Said goodbye and never made it back home

Pledging liberty and justice for all
Civilized discourse beyond the wall

Love and peace, and a new brotherhood,
Utopia, a care-free lovers' world

One lost himself among the crowd
Another one had to get off the cloud

One concocted snake oil and love potions
Another sold his soul, to stock options

Joy got depressed and flew over the Cuckoo's nest
Blossom whithered, and was put to rest

Liberty talked too much, was sent to jail
Hope was buried, to no avail

Faith became doubtful and turned agnostic
Achilles healed, his blood is still toxic

Oath denied everything and ran away
Desire hasn't been heard of to this day

Why did we have such a fruitless fate?
Why did the Sun burn us with hate?


Into this abyss all of us were tossed
Bad company we kept, good friends we lost
Bad company we kept, good friends we lost
