you will cry when you have to pay

Smoke get into your eyes

You will not see it for a while

When you open your eyes to see

You think you don't miss a thing

You feel you haven't lost your mind

You look everything seems familiar

You feel comfortable watching television

You laugh at the jokes or cry at the sad drama

When you look hard on it

You realize a subtle change occurs

Somebody has taken your mind

Planting words to make you change

You lived with it for years

Every morning you don't feel the difference

You think you are in paradise

Doing all the familiar chores

Until you are hit with a massive bill

You realize the country in serious spot

Tax introduced to get monies to pay

Giving you less income to satisfy your needs

Is this the way?

Smoke get into your eyes

You think you are in paradise

You will cry when you have to pay
