This Is Our Earth, Our Universe
Stop chewing the fat,
spit that bone out!
And for God's sake,
please don't swallow
the juices of thugocracy.
It’s nothing but blatant lies!
Mama's too terrified to speak up,
and poor daddy's too weary to seek the truth-
both have been brainwashed to toil till 75.
You see, we the youth is catching up fast
this is our Earth, our universe now,
they had their turn to make justifiable, concrete changes,
yet old men still churn the wheels of the same
old bulk of grandiose greed and downright trickery.
We're slowly waking up,
rubbing our eyes in sheer disbelief,
and rising up, one by one by... little by little.
This passe political system needs to stop
... a wrench thrust into the rusty mechanics!
Our world's too damn awesome
and too damn magical for,
all this asinine **** to carry on!
Tell me, where is the logic in war, war, war
spilling the blood of our brothers and sisters in distant lands and,
where’s the impetus to vote, vote, vote,
if everything remains the same.?
