Restless Nation

The restless nation,
Another great society creation.
Work to live,
Live to die,
Fun in between before the tank runs dry.

Rise with the sun,
Set before it’s begun.
Work to the bone,
Desperate not to be alone.

Tastes of glory in the pure orange fire,
The restless nation stops to admire.
Over in the West it will soon be gone,
No one ever said it would be here for long.

Take a minute to see days end,
A restless nation need not pretend.
