Sometimes just zooming out a bit helps.

100K (will get me by)
by broomwatr
100 thousand years, the story of my kind
...humankind
I need 100k to get me by
a slap across the cheek
with a tired sigh
I need to see it more clear
forget all the noise
all my neighbors smell fear
as they play with their toys
I need a 100k
some chaos and charm
some hate or pain
all the love in the joy
of escaping in the rain
Then it's back to the ruts
and we're slavin' again?
100 thousand years, the story of my kind
...humankind
the floods they come
the fires they grow
the continental winds
they blow and blow
they knock us down
we worm our way up
in the slime and the mud
we start a new home
then we're laughin' again
as they knock us back down
100 thousand years, the story of my kind
...humankind
countless prayers and
millions of gods
4000 generations!
born and lost
and born and raised and
born and lost
never quite figured out
so stuck in some maze
but we look at the stars
and dream of fine days
as the storms shape up
in some midnight haze
we all cry out
in a million ways
100 thousand years, the story of my kind
...humankind
