Savages
We the people are savages
Making decisions without thinking them through,
just to ravage our minds but in life their are no undo's
Who are we all to eachother?
We're strangers but yet we all live with one another
Good or bad we all came from a mother
Lock our doors up tight and sound the alarm
For even the most sick and twisted can radiate with charm
the devil watching under you, taking you under his broken wings
Detecting and selecting those who cause us harm
Lock your doors up tight and sound the alarm
Karma is a beautiful thing, still our minds will be ravaged
Karma is a horrible thing but it's the rule of life's schematics
A repetition of our history, We the people are savages
So many different faces
So many similar emotions
To good or to evil do we give our devotion
There is no special potion
No spells or hypnotizing clocks
So what makes someone as soft as a feather
as sweet as candy
as hard as a rock
as twisted as a branch in a tree
or as disturbing as our government
Our parents
Our parents taught us to say thank you and please
kissing our boo boo's
Loving us unconditionally
Who kicked us out of the house
Who drove drunk with us in the car
Who were ashamed of our existence
Leaving us with scars
With each word and each fistl
We can all check at least one of the list
Our parents who taught us to lock our doors up tight
and sound the alarm
They hold the power to create us or deteriorate us
God gave us a free will so it's out of his hands
It is put into our parents hands
Will they use them to teach us what's wrong, right, and fair?
Will they use them to tuck in their children and hug them goodnight?
or use them to abuse and put out their bright light
The sweetest face of innocence, a beautiful mind that will surely be ravaged
A repetition of our history, we the people are savages.
