Absolution Lyrics

Tainted souls in a superficial parade
Along the walkways of my city
Absolution allows wicked antics to run free
With no remorse or sympathy

And the working men and women
Strive to fit in
But acceptance at the cost of your conscience
Isn't worth the time put in
And being a better person

Cant be given by a word
But your action is the solution
To life's equation of worth

Forgiveness is useless when you don't ask
Delegation of the pious life is a liars task
Are we at last at the hand of our denial
When evasion of faults is admired

And the working men and women
Strive to fit in
But acceptance at the cost of your conscience
Isn't worth the time put in
And being a better person
Cant be given by a word
But your action is the solution
To life's equation of worth

Arrogant acceptance of innocence
No retrospection, just self-righteousness without sense
The firm stance of a hypocritical blame and cry
Is quite a glorious lie of pride

And the working men and women
Strive to fit in
But acceptance at the cost of your conscience
Isn't worth the time put in
And being a better person
Cant be given by a word
But your action is the solution
To life's equation of worth
