The Way I see It

The way I see it The 1 % makes all the choices While the 99% listens to Those men and women who say They want what’s best, but The truth is it’s all about money War controls our corporations’ minds Making them come up with plots To convince the everyday people That killing innocent people is “patriotic” That spending money on war is more important Than giving the money to hospitals and schools The way I see it Nowadays everyone wants to be a “cover girl” And the ones that don’t are pushed away Being a good person doesn't matter to most People eat nothing to make themselves feel beautiful While their life means nothing if they aren't skinny The media portrays make up and face lifts Instead of promoting that you should Love yourself just the way you are They show television shows full of Meaningless drama and famous people They make you believe that you aren't good enough The way I see it Music today is a catchy tune and worthless lyrics Songs are 4 minutes long with repeating lyrics Throughout the whole song When back in day songs had a new line Every time with a beautiful meaning People listen to songs about drugs Talking about how the cops can kiss their ass Saying how amazing being drunk is Talking about hooking up with a different person every night Everyone thinks they’re successful, but they never are They end up being tossed out just like their last hit single The way I see it People force their beliefs on others Shoving it down the worlds throat But when you try to tell what you believe They close their eyes and ears pushing You away, isolating you and not realizing the hypocrisy Religion replaces human rights And those who don’t believe in what they do Are shunned and treated unfairly and threatened They are excluded and unexpected by them All the while the aren't even following their own beliefs The way I see it This generation is screwed Unless we take a stand for what’s right We have to care if we want to survive We have to change our path Before were crushed There is hope Everyone has something they can contribute They just have to take a hold of it And use it for not just them But to help this world as a whole By being selfish we are only destroying ourselves
