hope     and without direction     knowing only that dreams are always shattered        a kind face is a hypocritical face        "those who know" are more lost than anyoneThe sons and daughters of the hippies     raised on shattered dreams by hypocrites     are too afraid to care        too smart to try           and were raised too well to admit itPage 3ShutesHer pretty White DressShe sits alone in her pretty white dressShe's still afraid     She wonders whyNo one is around; she shouldn't be afraid     But she can't help wonderingWhat will happen when they come?How will she screw this up?Will they still make fun of her?Will she still not be good enough for them?
