Pain In Variety
We need a change in society
I'm seeing Heartbreak, backstabbing, Violence and Betrayal
People are full of hate, Drama, and don't know how to be faithful
We're dealing with pain in variety
New day, new tragedy, sadly that's how it goes
Terrorists setting off bombs at crowded shows
We idolize celebrities who are alcoholics and who have a powdered nose
We beg to see girls naked, then judge their body when we see them without their clothes
We're obsessed with social media like its the be all and end all
So concerned with celebrities that we ignore when our friends call
I don't care about who's marriage is on the rocks, this is a sadder state of affairs
Guys are ridiculed for putting their pride down and showing a girl they care
Teens are using knives and blasting guns as if they are toys
We're told to be quiet and made to feel like we don't have a voice
Speak up for what you believe in and they'll have you silenced
The government send us to war and act shocked when kids are violent
They blame it on cartoons and Hip-Hop
We're automatically criminals if we wear hoodies and listen to Eminem or Slipknot
Society has this set of clear rules
You need the latest phone, clothes and hairstyles so you appear cool
If you don't, then Society won't accept you
There's an invisible barrier that you won't get through
Sadly this is just the basics
Who knew regular people would treat other regular people with such hatred?
We need a change in society
I'm seeing Heartbreak, backstabbing, Violence and Betrayal
People are full of hate, Drama, and don't know how to be faithful
We're dealing with pain in variety
