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.
