Crash Bandicoot 2 - Diggin It + Skull route (pre-console version)

Racing ahead with no headlights on

Some Things Cannot Be Ignored
Cancer
Toothaches
Going Blind

The hedge fund glare assumes the golden dawn
And it races ahead with no headlights on
While the "99" club struggles the ongoing fare
The cost of which is an unsettling dare,
to stay alive.

Given our long history, that's us, well...
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT MANKIND.
...it's simply insanity.
