Overcome
Helter skelter, run for shelter
have you always been this uptight
I tired to make things better
but you only wanted a fight
over come what people have done
and the things that they say,
they not know of what they
do i herd someone pray
overcome the poison in your veins
overcome their fashions of greed and hate
overcome the echo of lies
in this tasteless colony
don't be a drone, be a fly
forgiveness is healthy
hate is power
hour by hour people
march in confusion
pride is what controls them.
