Priorities Mistook lyrics

What good pray tell could it be

That bright badges regale

Or ratings glow of yellow stars

Thanks begotten of clichés delight

Such trivialities bear no value

Not even to buy a bunch of beans

And sniveling commentary given

Not much of a legacy to show

What words, what work could impart

To justify an existence tenuously held

That victory that outweighs time

Its meaning kept through ages

Names forgotten, banter too

All that's left is judged freely

What is good remains enduring

What is bad is awash in the gutter

Focus then on what is great

Enduring time's ravages e'er

For a legacy left strong in stone

Outwears banter effaced by scouring sands
