Upside Down


Important as the air we breathe

to notice environmental needs

Our way of living under siege 

is anybody listening to me

 

Natural resources nearly extinct 

Water shortages what will we drink

Zombie nation wake up let's think

So called leaders dazed this stinks 

 

Clearly living on borrowed time

police brutality is a crime

yet their free and doing fine

 

Al Qaeda Isis running wild

killing mother’s boys and child

behold prophecy coming true

these are the things you already knew

 

Adamant about the times we lost

modern creation has become our boss 

Can you see it the end is near

if we can’t convince the masses to care

 

Care about things that matter most

like homeless Vet's out on the streets

empty bellies with nothing to eat

 

Local state governments closing schools

yet constructing more prisons

for non educated fools

 

Our passion for people has disappeared

and has never been more apparent

it's very clear
