lyrics

Our fathers are of the same temperament: Some small slight they still carry with them. And our mothers are famous apologists. It's not hard to see how we came to this. Shared ancestries lead to a shared life. Corresponding bodies, correlated minds. Too stubborn to stop, too smart to let it end. Too late to try to fashion it again. We were fortunate, rich beyond our dreams. So we spent unwisely, wasted prosperity. We forgot a past of destitution and pain, but I think I remember it pretty well today.
