SILENCE THE IGNANT

The story of a corrupt society The alcoholic priest preaches about sobriety Religion brainwashing people Children sexually abused in the steeple You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination Stop preaching discrimination Silence the ignant With acceptance and education First love, broken heart Prescribed drugs, fake fresh start Take this happy pill Pharmaceutical companies finding more ways to kill Fried foods and chemicals in your mouth 5 hours sitting on the couch Leading cause of death- heart disease Can I get fries with that please? Big wigs owning private prisons and hospitals To increase profits We’ll need more criminals Institutions paying off the cops Pay enough and the siren stops Money is power But greed turns a man sour There’s gotta be solution We need a revolution Go out and exercise your right to vote But what’s the point Fake phony politicians don’t actually represent us Plastic smiles feeding us lies Money and hidden agendas in disguise We’re just numbers- our voices don’t matter We’re at the bottom of the ladder The bureaucracy is failing It’s time to start unveiling Let’s settle the score No more false promises to end the war Sending kids overseas Sons and daughters dying from the violence disease Weed’s still an illegal schedule one drug Smoking medical doesn’t make you a thug Decriminalize cannabis, maybe one day Imagine what congress would say “I actually never inhaled the Jay” Spying on citizens Denying it, making no amends What happened to privacy? People use social media as their diary Privileged pretentious kids thinking everyone else is dumb But it’s the lack of love makes them numb Little girls trying to look older Less clothes only makes you colder Their insecurities need a real friend’s shoulder Everyone has internal struggles, no doubt Secrete your negative feelings and speak Vices are only making you weak But everyone’s an addict Smoking, eating, video games, shopping Gambling, the Internet, drinking, and pill popping Cope properly Something’s wrong when sobriety feels wobbly Too much of one thing is no good Don’t act on impulse Regrets- would, should, and could Your future depends on what you put in today Actions speak louder than what you say Don’t just conform like putty If you wanna be heard You gotta go out there and you gotta be somebody Give this life all you got Expect nothing in return Some bridges you’ll need to burn Let it smoke Take a toke Now the world’s just one big god damn joke
