Another New Year Expect a new threat Accept a new scare Confect some more fears Just Another New Year Brings much added debt With less on our checks Plus increases to our rent Resulting in much stress Just Another New Year Calls for another celebration But I ain’t celebrating When potential for war is escalating Rogue states misbehaving Our children of the world still suffer through enslavement Just Another New Year Exposes new secrets kept More experimental tests Witnessing accidental deaths, Preventing domestic violence in our base Reactions to gay marriages still on the fence Uprisings in effect Just Another New Year Police going unchecked Paid to protect They neglect to connect With the ones who’ve been oppressed Such a lack of respect From one to another And still, we’ll have issues with color Just Another New Year The rich continue reaching for the stars While the poor decline farther behind trying to stay afloat, Provide a healthy meal and clothes Without going broke Maximizing every single vote, Reminiscing every word the Pope, Presidents, and Prime Ministers ever spoke Just Another New Year I don’t think I’m looking forward to it I rather choke Just Another New Year Pay attention people and take note! Welcome…. to Another New Year
