Behind Closed Doors

Many people look at the world 
And only see what happens around them 
But behind close doors 
Baby, you just don’t know what is going on 
You think that everything in the world is all fine and dandy 
But in truth 
There are so many problems 
With the government 
With the war 
But does our so-called president 
Tell us everything that is going wrong 
No… 
He just goes on throughout his day 
Knowing that there are problems 
In the world 
That he know he needs some help with 
But decides to try to do it on his own 
And do it all his way 
That’s what is really going on 
Behind closed doors
