Entrapment

You appear stage left all searching for your plan of life
 Youth of course on your side as they play the drum and fife
 Tryin' to get you marching to the worn out song they preach
 About how things you hope for are so very out of reach
 Can't they even remember
 When they had hopes
 And dreams?
 Adolescence fled; the adolescents sang; while you -- you had no chance
 Then before you even knew your wife she got in line to be your first romance
 In the sunset of your best years you piled on the debt
 You think this can't be happening here -- not here, not now, not yet
 You're gonna regret this.
 It's your big fall...
 Well OK -- life's not what it used to be
 We're tryin' to become something that maybe wasn't meant to be
 We're now so totally up for grabs -- I hope someone's left to see
 Will the end justify the means? Well it beats the heck outta me
 In the next round
 What will we be?
