AM I THE MAD ONE OR IS THE WORLD FALLING APART?


everything is ticking by I can't seem to be keep track of time

people come looking for something to make them believe

hoping we live in a world where we don't have to put in wartime

When I get in trouble for my opiniones, I scream and wear them on my sleeves

 

We live in fear of the day war breaks out because our leaders decided to stop being greedy

Or when those who live in poverty get so angry they decided to start a new revolution

When people are dying dropping like flies our governments tell us “we don't have time for that sweeti”

Seems like the world is full of corruption and this is nothing but pollution

 

We the people speak of a way to fix this situation

Yelling about how we don’t need this greedy pollution

But whatever we say gets lost in translation

Thought to be words of hatred it’s such a shame we live in an alienated nashion    

 

Where we try to fix the problems but our voices snuffed out by money

I’m sorry to tell you what many know this world is ugly

So many are giving up on hope in humanity

BUT, you still have to believe that you can change things for the better even if they say you’re slipping deeper into insanity.
