Love and Hate
Love and hate often intertwine
We search and search but we cannot find
We try to untangle but our minds our confused
Like a bomb on an airplane that we cannot defuse
We try to separate our friends from our foes
But the fist of reality hits us square in the nose
Options are low and our tensions our high
The snowball of stress could make a grown man cry
Anxiety and depression run ram bid around
Like when you leave Disneyland with a frown
Society and politics are all that we see
Movies, the radio, and that friggin T.V.
No wonder why were failing with the news that were fed
The reality of a second holocaust where all end up dead
Money, drugs, corruption and power
Are all the keys to make a kind heart turn sour
The bead of exhaustion drips down our brow
The possibility of insanity is very real right now
Why are we searching for something that's not there
True happiness is not a mask you can wear
