Shallow Grave from Jetsam by Neil Fernandes

Shallow Grave

You’ve got your foot on the rung
Of the ladder of success
You get to the top and you find
That you’re underdressed
You’d sell your soul
If there was a soul to find
Like the bones and the skin of all whom
You’ve left behind

Hey there all you
Girls and boys
With your bountiful riches
Your plentiful toys
Your creeping and scheming
And all of your ploys
The damage you’ve done
Your deafening noise

Rush as you will
To your own defense
But you’ll always be blind
To the consequence
When you join the stampede
For the glory you crave
You’ll be digging yourself
A shallow grave
