Black Friday
Stray from the Path Lyrics

There is something in the air
I sense that there's a sinister vibe in the atmosphere.

I can tell that it's not right
I am convinced that things are not as they seem and something is amiss.

Tonight anything goes after midnight
I dread the thought of how anything could happen during the dark hours.

Watch your back
Be aware of the situation and be alert for any danger.

The world has lost control
The global scenario has spiraled out of control.

Cars full of people who would sell their soul
The streets are packed with people who are desperate enough to do anything for material gains.

As they gather far and wide like a cattle
The crowds resemble a herd of cattle moving together aimlessly and blindly.

Armed with their wallets, loaded guns for a battle
People have their wallets full of cash or their credit cards ready, as they prepare for a shopping spree or a fight.

Look out
Be watchful and cautious.

I'm still waiting for the world to see What this life is supposed to mean
I have yet to comprehend the true purpose and meaning of life, and I yearn for the same.

You can't buy me I'm not for sale (I'm not for sale) Money won't buy a heart of gold They're fresh out They were free with self control
My values are not for sale, and my principles and convictions cannot be bought with money. People who possess self-control are in demand, while those who lack it are no longer valued.

Is there anybody out there? Does anybody care? Is there anybody out there?
I wonder if there's anyone else who shares my concern and questions, and if anyone is listening.

I would rather have nothing than this I would rather have nothing than miss (have nothing) What I really care for What I'd die for Rip out my hair for, mothers cry for Appreciation for the shit you've got Appreciated is what you're not I won't be bought
I would prefer to have nothing if it comes at a cost to what I love and cherish the most. I am willing to go to great lengths and endure pain and suffering for the ones I care for. Having gratitude for the blessings in life is essential, and being unappreciative of what we have is shameful. I refuse to be swayed by materialistic temptations or bribes.

It goes, it goes One for the money Two for the money Forget about the Third world They ain't hungry Four closed homes Five missed payments on Six loans The dumbest people with the smartest phones (The dumbest people with the smartest phones, haha)
The world revolves around money, and people are willing to spend extravagantly despite the struggles of the third world. The number of closed homes, missed payments, and loans is on the rise. Ironically, people with the latest smartphones display poor judgement and decision-making skills.

I fear Scared that you won't Next year You're still ungrateful It will I bet that it will (Be worse) Be worse
I am afraid that people won't recognize and appreciate the good fortunes they have. In the future, things may take a turn for the worse, and the same ungrateful attitudes will persist.

Let me express what I'm thankful for I'm twenty-five, full of pride Surrounded by the ones I love I fear Scared that you won't Next year You're still ungrateful It will I bet that it will (Be worse) Be worse
I want to take the time to express my gratitude for the things I have in my life. I am content and proud of my age, and I am surrounded by people who love and support me. However, I am worried that others may not feel the same way or appreciate their families, friends, and everything else they have.

You should all be shameful for Shopping lines, stolen lives You're still my material whore
The long lines outside stores and malls, and the craze for material possessions come at the cost of someone else's well-being and safety. Such actions are disgraceful, and people who indulge in them are guilty of materialism.

American Greed Too many people buying too many things They don't even need, they're just following lead American Greed Too many people buying too many things They don't fucking need, it's just American Greed
The consumerist culture in America has turned people into greedy individuals who hoard things they don't need, merely because it's the norm, and they don't want to feel left out from the crowd. Their trivial desires are satisfying a hidden greed.

Everything must go Tonight, tonight The world's lost control Tonight, tonight Anything goes Tonight, tonight We won't be bought or sold Tonight, tonight
The situation has spiraled out of control, and it seems anything could happen. Nonetheless, we refuse to give in to the lure of materialism and greed. We stand firm in our conviction and will not be swayed by the craze for sale prices and discounts.
