The Great Depression

'October 1929... The catalyst of change, for all my kind.
Nothing would be the same. The Western World had seen nothing like this 'Economic Suicide'. There was no way to stop that train. The wheels were set in motion. And down came our reign, taken by the strain. The world had come unraveled. And for all the roads traveled. No amount of treasure could you find. The drastic measures came to mind. Casualty of The Great Depression stepped out onto the ledge for his last impression. Citizen, with nothing left to live for, he's all been bought and sold, the end had taken hold. He'd fallen into the sky alone, spiraling down below, the end had taken hold. The world had come unraveled. And for all the roads traveled. No amount of treasure could you find. The drastic measures came to mind. Casualty of The Great Depression stepped out onto the ledge for his last impression. Citizen, with nothing left to live for, he's all been bought and sold, the end had taken hold. He'd fallen into the sky alone, spiraling down below, the end had taken hold. Leaning in slow motion over the edge, looking down. Releasing the hold... letting go:'I had it all, the house, the wife, the car, the kids, before it came crashing down, like it did.....'
The world had come unraveled. And for all the roads traveled. No amount of treasure could you find. The drastic measures came to mind. Casualty of The Great Depression stepped out onto the ledge for his last impression. Citizen, with nothing left to live for, he's all been bought and sold, the end had taken hold. He'd fallen into the sky alone, spiraling down below, the end had taken hold. Citizen... into the sky alone spiraling down below, the end had taken hold.
