Eight Imperfect

[Verse 1]
March 25th, 1911
Convenience and greed took their tolls on humanity
And it pains my soul in the present day
Those people worked for a better life
Those women, those kids
I hope that they found it
I hope they all found it
Was it worth it?
Moving forward meant leaving our morals
Because only the good die young...

[Verse 2]
You "prevented theft" but prevented life
Some escaped the flames
But not one escaped gravity
And you never saw the gravity of the situation
Those sidewalks painted your self portrait
You disgusting excuses for dignified men
I'll never know if you learned your lesson
Not sure you could see it behind your piles of profit
You didn't see those kids jump to their death
You didn't see them so their life's not important

[Bridge]
Has anything changed?
Or do we just repeat?
(2x)
We just repeat
