Sit and watch the world go by while all our problems multiply.

[patriotvoice]

 I AM THE RAIN, Assemblage 23

 Too eager to appease
 The cure is the disease
 And it's only growing worse
 
 Day by day it takes its hold
 Divides its cells a thousandfold
 And makes your blindness seem perverse
 
 Out of sight and out of mind 
 Are deadly traits when they're combined
 But it's easier that way
 
 Sit and watch the world go by
 While all the problems multiply
 With nothing left to do but pray
 
   -CHORUS-
   I am the rain
   Falling down to cover you 
   Wish me away
   But I'm here for your own good
   I am the storm 
   Sent to wake you from your dream
   Show me your scorn
   But you'll thank me in the end
 
 These amenities are nice
 But there is need for sacrifice
 You must lose so you may gain
 
 It's too easy to malign
 The implements that steal our time 
 But it's we who are to blame 
 
 Fill your pockets while you can
 And try to keep the upper hand
 The voice of reason sounds so shrill
 
 Surround yourself with all you own 
 Work your fingers to the bone
 And happiness evades you still
 
   -CHORUS-
 
 Too eager to appease
 You've lost the forest for the trees
 And it really is a shame
 
 It is such a sorry sight
 When you evaluate your life 
 You've only got yourself to blame 

   -CHORUS-
