The World Is Turning Upside Down

The world is turning upside down Population exploding out of bound Babies crying from starvation Too late to stop impending devastation The world is turning upside down Pollution in the air and ground Forests dying, losing soil Fish are floating covered in oil The world is turning upside down Nuclear weapons ready to pound Chemical dust, biological weapons too Designed to kill me and you The world is turning upside down Countries and religious wars around Dictators will not step down Until we bury them in the ground The world is turning upside down Corruption and money abound Politicans, banks, companies and all Seeing how much they can score The world is turning upside down Crime everywhere is found Thieves, rapists, killers and all Be sure to lock your front door The world is turning upside down New strains of viruses being found Ebola, HIV and Hepatitis D Hard to contain, moving free The world is turning upside down Drugs a plenty, dealt underground Ecstacy, Mull, Crack and Smack Our kids will end up in a sack The world is turning upside down fast food, no cooking sound Hamburgers, Pizzas, hot dogs and fries Fish and chips, and mutton pies The world is turning upside down The world is turning upside down The world is turning upside down Can the Internet twist it around?
