Don't exchange the milkshake

From the time we see to the time we are gone
like a short lived breeze struggling to blow on
World a magic milkshake or a sewer pipe
What slogan sticks to your chosen brand of life

For the time goes quickly like day's sunshine is shone
Want the next big dream, sacrifice is the ponder
Let go of one thing you are fond of?
Death walks, is life too short to spend in wonder?

From the time we were knee high without the cons
Marvelous imagination kept sorcery in our wands
The World an adventure film based on our wants
growing up to become conformed and ensconced

Not a free thought to cast
Oh god put back the twinkle
When that child like spark is lost
The cost is triple

Versions of the truth that serve adolescent minds
convenient lies that adults indulge to break soul ties
Tools of their trades like sewer pipes
Instead of magic milkshakes and dreams so ripe
