Why is it that life goes by so fast;
it’s finished before it got started;
why doesn’t it seem like it lasts;
some of my friends have departed.
I’d dreamed I’d be famous and rich;
have mastery over domain;
again and again I see reality switch;
Hello & Welcome to
The Cardboard Breadman
That little old woman and little old man,
how sad their circumstance seems.
Doing their best to do all they can;
abandoning all hopes and dreams.
Such people abound almost every place;
in both countryside and every city;
in need of help and also grace;

All particles and life are synonomous;
