Blameless

Look at us all
 A shamble of rejects with nothing to show for our lives
 We recall
 The things that we've done in the past that we thought at the time
 Were a ball
 But they're shallow and mean nothing more than the taint of decay
 Which is so hard to leach away
 Now we have grown
 Our maturity gives us the power to reap all the seeds
 We have sown
 And the lives we have led give us wisdom to hand to the kids
 That we own
 Who rejoice in the knowledge that every last thing that we say
 Will aid them on their way
 What a farce
 That we're handing down attitudes useless to us
 Given strength
 By a past that invests stale redundancies quite undeserving with some
 Sort of class
 That is swallowed by children who know that their parents won't say
 Anything that isn't okay
 Look at us all
 Hollow eyes, hollow minds, hollow words that we use without thought
 To install
 All the shit that we hated when we were like sponges
 Receptive and small
 And we dare to act startled that our world is fashioned this way
 As we stammer and say
 It isn't our fault
