The race through life has become more of an amble
a gamble that all the bad shit might get credited out
by Karma and a little help from pharmaceuticals
Compassion you see is no longer the fashion
for high heeled boots and fancy suits
and kindness that’s rationed in the war years
There’s a sprinkling of peace and love
and above all else you realise
that there are no winners or losers
Just false promises made in boozers
