Well, first thing I thought of after reading the first two lines was...

"wake up kids it's half past noon'
ain't nothin changing but the date"

If you're an Aerosmith fan you probably already know the connection I made... But those are the opening lines to their song "Eat the Rich". But the similarities thankfully stopped there. It has a strange rythym to it... as I read it I had a hard time coming up with a melody, or a rythm to go along with it. I can clearly see the message that you're trying to convey which is good. You didn't overshoot by going into more needless details... which is good. You tried to stay with a ryhming scheme which is good... however it fluctuates. The words "for no reason" almost, but not completly became monotonous in the lyrics. As I read it I couldn't imagine it being more than a 2 and a half to 3 minute song. Also the chorus is only used once, generally a chorus is defined as something that will repeat atleast twice in a song... So you have more of a Verse-Verse-Verse-Outro type of a structure. It is a decent song that would be better understood with music to it.
