Crazy World

This world is so cold, and my voice is so silent,
The air is poisoned with hate, and the people are all violent,
The water is bloody, the winds are so fierce,
Knowledge is wasted, craniums get pierced,
Savages fighting wars with such a convulsive rage,
Violence everywhere, like its a huge compulsive stage,
No change can appear, we're on our way to a cataclysmic end,
Presidency's on our side? the government's our friend?,
What a bunch of lies, they only care if your rich,
Lying, cheating people, man life can be a b*tch,
It's always sunny in California, but why do it seems cloudy,
I don't see sophisticated people, man they all just wild and rowdy,
Police are supposed to be our protectors, so why do we need guns,
It's because we're like target practice, to them killing us must be fun,
I don't see much joy in death, all i see is tears upon tears,
War after war, more violence through the years,
I'm just letting y'all know, what's really in my thoughts,
Earning the people's trust, is something that can't be bought,
You want to make a change?, then do something productive,
Instead of fighting all these wars, and making things all destructive.
