a rickety bridge of impossible crossing

we wanted to go to the store together

We wanted to go to the store together
We wanted to go get some bread
We wanted to do everything that they told us we had to to get ahead
We wanted to go back to school together
We wanted to stay out of debt
We wanted to work so hard that our bosses could each buy another jet
We wanted to build a future together
We wanted some time to play
We wanted for once in our lives to have something saved for a rainy day
We wanted to go to the store together
We wanted to go get some bread
But the buses are dead
And there's knives in your head
And my bones are all lead
So I guess we'll stay home and have crackers instead
