Swimming with sharks

I watch the world flash before my eyes
As I find comfort in this step
Another cigaret another cup of tea
Watching people flash before me
I ask my self this question
Where will I be in the next five years or so

When I was a young lad
I had such big dreams
I wanted to be an astronaut
Or own my own bakery
But here I am
and here I wait

The good the bad the ugly
The underdressed
The intoxicated ones
With no self respect
