Huh

It's a backward world we live in
things seem up-side-down.

What used to be important, now,
doesn't seem to count.

They plot and plan how to cheat and steal,
while telling you they are for real.

Some walk around in suits and ties
practicing to tell their lies.

Products sold and advertised when used correctly
kill.

Creating games for children that make
cruelty a thrill.

Politicians, businessmen they're vicious 
to the core.

If we ignore these symptoms
we'll just have many more.

Are you convinced that you must pay
to live your life the way they say?
