Don't Need a Reason

Don't need a reason to feel like I do
 Don't need a reason, but I've still got a few
 Don't need a reason, don't need advice
 From trash in the gutter on the road to paradise
 I carry grudges that are older than time
 The burden breaks my back, leaves me blind and paralyzed
 Forgiveness is a virtue and pride is a sin
 But neither one has saved me from the mess I'm in
 Corrupted institutions
 With violent solutions
 Revel in agony and moral decline
 War without terms
 Food for the worms
 Things are just fine
 I owe a debt that I can never repay
 A sacred allegiance I can never betray
 I've stumbled and I've fallen but I will not stray
 Don't need a reason to scream for a change
 Hand over fist
 Blissful ignorance
 When the train runs off the tracks
 How else should I react?
 I'm not a victim but I'm not a crook
 Don't give me a reason or a second look.
