The State of Our Union

You're going too fast she says

Places her hand on the handle

And looks out the window

We are running too late 

He says and presses the pedal 

And checks the time again 

You're spending too much

She says as she shakes her head 

We need to make cuts again

And he folds his arms 

Times right now may be tough

But we need to invest in tomorrow 

There won't be one if we die tonight

She says and she wants to shiver 

You're just reckless and irresponsible 

And he does not answer but replies 

You are just so scared of the risk

You'd rather just stand still then go forward 

You're changing too much 

She says and she steps away 

Is tomorrow really worth throwing away yesterday? 

You're speaking of stagnation 

He also turns away from her

You're speaking of rotting and dying too

So shall we die slow then 

He asks and she replies 

So shall we die fast then 

Because its hard to see the other side

When you've stopped listening 

And then have stopped caring too
