I see the bad state the world's in
there's corruption all around
I see the evils in business
the greed in profit
I see the pollution that we cause
This world's at war
yet
I want no part...
I see the papers brainwashing
the workers
The media hypnotizing
the viewers
I see politicians talking
big words
and people
believing
These crazy consumer people
buying products beyond their means!
Zombies in the shops
annoying commercials on the box
and giant billboards
I can't miss
Is this what life is?
it's a fake fake world
full of lies lies
I see the homeless
walking the street
and the crime on TV
I see the old
telling the young
this is
how life
should be...
But this is the way we live
it's the only way we know
and I want no part...
I contemplate God
I think of the devil
The clock keeps ticking
My cigarette keeps burning
The pints keep pouring
and
I just
keep
watching
because
after all
I'm young and what do I know?
You know that those before you have got it wrong You know that you care even if you dont show it You know that one day you'll be old and do you want it still like this You know more than the generation before are you going to use what you know You know your not an ostrich... so dont bury your head in the sand....
