Words
Lose your whole life
Find an ex-wife
Fall from grace onto swords
And all it cost is words
Masses look for a team
Even if it’s just a dream
Acting is all they were
Walking towards
And all it cost is words
All it costs is words
To make a history proud
Or hold the suffering aloud
Every syllable of focus
Against negativity locusts
From the standing ape
To the great debate
And all
It cost
Is
Words
