Fouled Out

Real is no longer the topic of conversation 
Searching for the genuine and authentic 
Lost within traditional lies 
My generation has made me almost vomit, I am quite sick 

Copying the moves of the next man 
Original thoughts have been abandoned 
For to be original is to be unpopular 
Unfortunately, this is where the wheel of fortune has landed 

Bad has became good 
Confused actions are the norm in this twisted affair
Vultures lurk and prey on the weak
These sneaky snakes have overshadowed the biggest bear 

Animalistic ideology for many 
Trustworthiness is no more than a word 
The lexicon of the public has shifted dramatically
Advice is to be spoken but not heard 

In one ear and out the other
Words have little power to those who are deaf 
The world has become quite foul
Players are now taking shots at the refs
