about

ABOUT THIS TRACK:

"Health Insurance" is the question of whether or not our government is working for us or against us. Are the social norms we adhere to so strongly really worth anything? Are we building a better future for tomorrow? Or are we wasting today on an unrealistic pipe dream?

lyrics

LYRICS:

Pondering to myself I ask, "Is it worth it? Proving our worth?"
We spend our time building a mask and running from spirit rebirth
For the sake of insurance but is it your choice to make?
Depends how you view decisions made for all by few

Well I'll take my time, my dollar, and dime the hell away from here

Give me one good reason why
I should pay into the lies
I can't be the only one who sees
the irony in living free

Pondering to yourself you ask, "Is it necessary?"
Hating the right and loving the wrong
Lacking source in what you write
Do you know what you're spreading or where you're heading?
Or are you blind to what clogs up your mind?

Well I'll take my time, my dollar, and dime the hell away from here

Give me one good reason why
I should pay into the lies
I can't be the only one who sees the irony

Do you know?
Why we're trading today for tomorrow?
Do you know?
Why we're trading today for tomorrow?

Give me one good reason why
I should pay into the lies
I can't be the only one who sees the irony
