The ghost of a knock on your door
To visit you was never supposed to be such a chore
Now you ask, "What am I living for?"
You're simply not needed anymore,

Smoke and mirrors like never before
That smashed mirror on the floor
When in your presence they act so bored
You're simply not needed anymore,

Young couples walking hand in hand
Do they even understand?
What's happening to their very own land
Life's losing meaning in shifting sands,

Love has changed by popular demand
Eclipsed by one-night stands
Life today oh how grand
You're not wanted go join a band,

When did the world change into this?
Changelings obsessed with bliss
History to the fools is meaningless
Your own government completely lawless,

You've become that missing piece of the puzzle
That wet nose on a dog's muzzle
Order a beer at the bar and guzzle
You used to stay home with the wife and nuzzle,

There was a time when it all made sense
There was no insane pretense
You didn't need to worry about self defense
Now you can't mend the family fence,

Take the dog for a walk around the park
You swore someday you'd leave your mark
The differences among people have become stark
With supply shortages can you survive on tree bark?

There was a time when they clung to you
You held the family together like glue
Your little ones never letting them out of your view
Somehow the world just went askew,

There was a time you were adored
There were possibilities to be explored
Despite the world there was optimism at your core
Ironically, now you're not needed anymore.
