Land of Confusion
When hatred and fear become a fusion
We live in a terrible land of confusion
Watch the elite dogs all bark
When they see the revolutionary spark
The problem is our world is burning
And the masses not caring is concerning
The reality is intelligence is what they fear
So they keep us dumb so we'll never be a peer
Men gunned down relentlessly on the street
It is through racial division we find defeat
When we are locked in a war of brother versus brother
It gives the elites an excuse for our rights to smother
Let us be clear that it is not up for debate
That you cannot defeat hate with hate
This is the world we live in but is it worth fighting for
And if we're ready to do battle for more
For many existing day to day is just a pain
So many with nothing to gain, so many slain
When I watch the news it is with a heavy heart
At how families can be so easily ripped apart
Forever burdened by the deceased voices of the dead
Damned to an evil system their souls were fed
And those who remain are simply here to ask why
We allow ourselves to live this atrocious lie
The machine grows and promotes the groth of cancer
And I'm not here to pretend as if I have the answer
I'm just another guy trying to live out my insignificant dreams
In a world that crushes the imagination of children it seems
If we are ever going to defeat the greed
Hope is something we need
We live in a terrible land of confusion
But it does not have to be the final conclusion
