been told from birth, never to raise a fist
for what it's worth, buildings weren't fallin' like this
when a knife stabs you it's supposed to get duller
and blood and a rose are all the same color
suddenly the lines have all been blurred
here comes a violent society that was waiting to get stirred
right now i'm man enough to admit that i'm scared
bombs are droppin and it's everything that i feared
i can't sleep with all this shit i have to contemplate
as we contaminate the plate from which those kids just ate
the rich are getting richer and weak are getting weaker
propaganda spilling from every tv and stereo speaker
this worlds turned me hard as a rock like bob segar
the scraps with which i have to eat are getting meager
some kid killed another right there on my front lawn
turns out it was his brother, they'd been fightin since dawn
a homeless dude told me he hadn't eaten in five days
i guess i should feel guilty if i accually get my raise
the worlds turning bad and they keep sayin it's just a phase
but i can't help feelin' there is no exit to this maze
yesterday is gone and today looks like it might be worse
if everyday is a blessing why does it feel like a curse
every night i can't help but break down and cry
all that they taught me was a one big fuckin lie
there ain't no truth and the world iz still flat
enjoy your youth, because it's shit after that



i know it was a pretty simple rhyme sceme, but what'd y'all think.
