What Do You Do Today and Tomorrow

So three of your friends get murdered and you hear your next what do you and your girlfriend do run away or wait to overdose and die like the rest? Do you light her house on fire to go looking for help to be misdiagnosed for ten years on medication that finally drives you crazy or do you hunt them down? What's the better of two evils? what's the best example you can make for your community no matter the price you keep paying and then the knowledge of crooked cops dirty lawyers and malpractioning doctors as your life becomes a game Welcome to the merry go round welcome to my life welcome to the tears i cry because everyone now sees they got away and i continually pay the price and secxond chances never come and no one listens to the truth so if this happens to you think twice Wanna know why there are gangs read this again wanna know why there are kids with guns and juvenile kids with methods of madness running from broken homes well read it again slide between the lines and realise this isnt allowed and for everything i wanted I'm still Uninvited So I'm heading to the city of angels If i can ever find a compass and a map a fake passport because i have a fortune telling plan know soo much of poisoning the well and Canada is a death trap i can't run away from fast enough but here i am the joke dressed in suicide yet again calling on the world asking for forgiveness begging for a chance to cross the border with the idea for the perfect conspiarcy and crime for a pulitzer prize But what do you do What is the better of two evils Ignorance is bliss and knowledge is power but in your jail system I'll be reading fortunes for cigarettes and washing our sins clean protesting and rioting for healthcare inside the system while i martyr myslef again and cry once every hour
