World We Live In
Down the street there was a man killed today,
In this house a little boy ran away,
A funny world we live in?
In this alley a gang raped a young teen,
Down this walk way,people never heard the scream,
A funny world we live in?
Under this cardboard a Vietnam vet sleeps,
Down this road a crazed killer creeps,
A funny world we live in?
In this bed a child is born this day,
Do you want him to grow in a world this way?
Not a funny world we live in?
