General Attempt

There are many wonders which we are acustomed to
As far as we know the so called leaders of the world are lying
But even so these lies are both beautiful and wonderful
So to protect them we kill and defend

At this point in time we make a general attempt to save the world
We believe in bright communities, capitalism, and -of course- love
So umm... what makes us believe this? Why is it worth it?
Could it be perhapes the low crime rate? Or media brainwash?

Oh and by the way: who is Ryan Emerald?
