no place for heroes

never give blame to those held in the muck
who struggled to get through on heavy feet
the mire at every step will grasp and suck

we seek to get ourselves out of the ruck
believing the high air is clear and sweet
never give blame to those held in the muck

the effort avails not we are still stuck
while others pass us by in manner fleet
the mire at every step will grasp and suck

we shout and scream but you don't give a fuck
with what delays and horrors we will meet
never give blame to those held in the muck

we hear some idiots complain and cluck
but the new masters they will praise and greet
the mire at every step will grasp and suck

it's far too easy just to pass the buck
while we in all our sorrow moan and bleat
never give blame to those held in the muck
the mire at every step will grasp and suck
