World of Lies

Nobody survives in this world of lies

Nobody cares about sacrifice

When it's all about war and you've lost your pride

Wondering how all the soldiers are still taking lives

But in the end

It all becomes clear to them

That all along

They were risking their lives over nothing

This fighting over nonsense has got to end

This mess throughout the world

Needs to end tonight

It's not okay to fight

It'll never be alright

So what, you can't express your opinion anymore?

When someone disagrees it has to start a war?

It's always hide and cry, die or survive,

But nobody survives in this world of lies.

<p>Mankind has faught for far too long. Instead of slaughtering our brethren due to our disagreements in the way things should be done, we should be civil and peaceful about things. When two friends fight, they solve their differences through communication and understandings; the same should go for two countries. Instead of settling things on the battlefield, we should try to solve things the right way. End the murders.</p>
