The Glory and the Scum

We all live in unforgiving precarious ways If it bleeds it leads Is all we seem to hear today Thorns remain while flowers fade Monster Such a noble novelty Monster Such a proper prodigy Monster It is all enrolled in you and me Either wasteland or wonderland Look at what we've done Take a step back Shake your head at what we have become We're the glory and the scum Monster Sewer of uncertainty Monster Creator of entropy Monster It is all enrolled in you and me Monster Polluter of dignity Monster Glory and the scum are we Monster Oh the best and worst is all in me
