Outside World
The outer surface is beautiful
He comes out good and colourful
The followers are not stressful
But respectful to have a handful
No one understand the inside world,
All they see is the outside world
He laughs not because he's happy
He clubs not because he wants to
He has a family not because he has enough
He doesn't give not because he's selfish
All they see is the outside world
He's depressed inside but no one can feel it
He goes on vacations but no one knows why
The night seems longer but they don't know
The money don't just come
All they see is the outside
Birds of a feather he became
He praised and talk good of leaders
Not because he wants to
His home is not in the sky
Arm forces only obey one order
All they see is the outside world.
