Give me a Break

How far is your mind from a brake
When you don't think you make a mistake
That could trigger a cold reality
an unnecessary fatality

If all of us thought before we acted
with the best judgment when we reacted
the world would be a far safer place
in almost every single case.

It's so easy for us to feel
we have control over the wheel,
but then what is real, and what is fake?
I beg your pardon, give me a break!
