Welcome to Earth.


In a world full of drinkers and smokers You are constantly being tempted "Hey man you want to try some? It's good." Saying no and fighting the temptation is hard. Then you look around you, You see bums holding signs asking for money A beer in one hand the sign in the other. The nasty cigarette smoke in the air The damage to your lungs and liver. What happened to getting married, Having kids, Living happily ever after Or is that just in fairytales? In a world full of fake smiles Back breaking jobs Liars and thieves Music full of violence and hate. Girls wear clothes too tight With way too much skin showing Boys wearing their pants to their knees Showing everyone their bootie Trash on the ground Instead of in trashcans This is the world we live in. This is Earth.
