We are the first, we are the last

At least that's what we’re told and we like to think it's so

We tend to ignore all commands; they're somewhere in between suggestion and mandate

There is no point, there is no need

In taking on the burden, for sowing a seed

At least that’s what we're told and so it's what we all concede

We'll fall together or we'll fall apart

‘cause changing minds is the hardest part

We'll fall together or we'll fall apart;

To avert disaster would be just the start

We are the first, we are the last

All forsaking the future and disregarding the past

We tend to dismiss warning signs as being other than the truth or a falsehood

There is a point at which we see

That assuming the mantle is rejecting our greed

At least that's what we’re sold but ignorance is what we plead
