Mingled thoughts and shadow fleeting,
Tired feelings and repeated feedings,
Sickened fools and show time readings,
Cause, effect, and savage beatings,
Common morons approaching the cause,
Political standpoints giving pause,
Speeches followed by much applause,
Many bandages, blood, and gauze,
Hungry people wishing for better days,
Religious leaders looking for better ways,
A nation worried about the normal gays,
A dying man, who is stuck in a haze,
Life as we know, as it is today,
More gunfire and more men into the fray,
Random people who have no say,
For better for worse we’re here to stay,
Life has to go on, go on like this,
Is it really something we would miss?
A nation ruled with an iron fist,
Fire and death come through the mist,
Always it comes to we have to die,
When no one ever knows why,
That’s why people are sometimes shy,
So they can go home and start to cry,
Ask yourself what can I do now,
Because you’ve got to find out somehow,
Fireworks that make us say wow,
Then back to thoughts of a slaughtered cow,
Then we ask what can I do for me?
Then we shut up and let it be,
In a nation where we are free,
Where it sometimes feels friendly,
March for the new revolution,
Because there has already been a conclusion,
Run through the mass, through confusion,
While the world is in a convolution,
Learn the lessons then forget them,
A leaf taken from the stem,
A failed voice and failed system,
A single mother addicted to laudanum,
Time for a smile, time for a scowl,
The world itself never smelt so foul,
Eager soldiers on the prowl,
A sad face hidden by the cowl,
Where are we now where have we gone?
Look to the moon look to the dawn,
Water the plants mow the lawn,
Why is it now why was it done?
Always searching looking for the cure-all,
Screaming, crying as we fall,
Curse the gods, curse it all,
Stand by your friends as they stand tall,
See paradise and then you dive,
Land safely; you’re still alive,
The countries we know they all strive,
They learn to count to the number five,
The color of fate the color of love,
The shade of white like a beautiful dove,
The shield the protection like a glove,
The way we fight, we push and shove,
Souls for the broken sword,
Become slaves for the newly found lord,
Watch a commercial about the new ford,
Then hang yourself on the longest cord,
Bomb a single person living in a city,
You watch them burn but there is no pity,
For you can’t do anything they are dead already,
Keep the hose straight, keep it steady,
Count down the fates of man by the hour,
Watch the time go by through a red flower,
Eat the grapes of wrath they’ve become sour,
You can live alone, and yet you devour,
Waiting for the fix the one good hook-up,
Bombs away make sure you don’t look-up,
Get blown away and then you get-up,
You bitch and moan and people say shut-up,
The way things are they are today,
The way things used to be they used to be gray,
But no, now its always day,
For this age is in the ray,
Constant pressure, sifting dust,
A lap of luxury, a life of lust,
A firm grip was once a must,
For that murder and that courageous bust,
Wake up make sure you shave,
Walk up and stare down a grave,
A pompous fuck with a bullshit wave,
Chalk up yet another helpless slave,
Find another dark place to hide,
On this carefree la la land ride,
You only have one second to decide,
See you on the other side,
No more time to mourn,
Time to feel my scorn,
No more time for Internet porn,
Time to feel real life's thorn,
Why does it always feel like a game,
In the end we are all the fucking same,
It's those power hungry men to blame,
Times change and it gets even more lame,
A world full of fiendish circumstances,
Is run by examples of foolish romances,
Politics is a sad froth of happenstances,
Whereas life is ripe with so many chances,
Why is it that we fruitlessly preform,
For the love and want of cherished reform,
You may laugh and learn in your dorm,
But we all need to fight the coming storm,
End another comfort with a wall of fire,
So much killing but we never tire,
The situation grows ever more dire,
Cast out another useless liar,
Vengeance for all the wrong reasons,
Always bitch about the changing of seasons,
No one willing to face inner demons,
Big surprise you failed the lessons,
Take in the newest creed,
Mercilessly we feed,
Look for another lead,
To plant our fucking seed,
Wash our bloody hands,
Carnage covered by the sands,
You announce the taking of lands,
Regardless of the majorities demands,
Happiness it seems has come here,
Everyone happily sit up and cheer,
Nations die every single year,
But we have the bombs so have we no fear,
Think of your parents why are they dead?
It's part of life get it through your head,
Sleep soundly inside your bed,
But did you even listen to what I said?
Sometimes we revel in supreme power,
Sometimes we jump off the highest tower,
Sometimes we sing quietly in the shower,
Other times we sit safely at home and devour,
Man ironically was meant to be temporary,
A peaceful world is only ever imaginary,
Those that believe, those that live in divinity,
Those that love, those who drown in iniquity,
A little solace is hard to find,
When you sit and fake and shit and grind,
Why do we always play being kind?
A little hope is hard to find,
Another glance outside, a wave of desperation,
Another commercial, another asphyxiation,
Another life lost, more deprivation,
Another day goes by, another approximation,
When doubt is overflowing,
And people ignore for fear of knowing,
A timeless threat always growing,
A grim hand that's never showing,
Another man another feat,
Was ordered to copy paste then delete,
Another product and some more repeat,
Another tally on the kingpins sheet,
Kids of today remain peerless,
Head honchos remain fearless,
Gold diggers are forever dearest,
Mankind erased from eternities list,
When white men are thrown to the flame,
The blackened souls rise and fall all the same,
When the corrupt and heartless hide their shame,
It makes the press look somewhat tame,
Sometimes I wish that things would change,
But that one thing needed is not in range,
True chaos is something I do not understand,
So I do what I can to lend a helping hand,
Mingled thoughts and harsh complaints,
Random memories and random restraints,
Read it now inside the booth,
Mingled thoughts and the sad, sad Truth. |
