Since Now Lyrics

Since when was it just a fallacy of tainted memory (since when) to believe that things were really all right ?
Since when were the qualities of wisdom and knowledge (since when) equivalent to mere facts online ?
Since when were the virtues of character and contect (since when) more than just a popularity game?
Since when was the protocol of rational judgment not the same as blame ?
Since now

It's fucked up beyond all recognition, just a symptom of the time (since now)
You might call it modern cognition without a reason or rhyme

Since when was the platitude of honorable mention (since when) only a dishonor to behold ?
Since when was being second only first among the losers just the same as getting old ?
Since now

It's natural to feel unlucky, too many winners spoil the prize (since now)
So if you are on the bottom don't you cry

Since when was history just a futile mission (since when) without a context to reveal ?
Since when was lacking sense of place or social purpose the new deal ?
Since now

It's fucked up beyond all recognition, just a symptom of the time (since now)
You might call it cognition but don't ask why
Ask since when
