People Us We He She Highschool Galaxies
People
Us
We
He
She
What is the Universe but
A galaxy of People
Of rock
A spinning mess
A vortex, Of life, and death
But never expectant of what will occur next
Cuz people
Us
We
we use
and
him and her
They continue
To fight To let go, To dream
and yet everything still seems
to be one big mystery
do I or even you
Yea you, sitting there
In your comfy chair
do you realize
what this world has to offer
We arent living like willy wonka
its not all Candy lands
and sugary sweets
were living lives of pain and deceit
People
Dont you see
that we
You
and me
yeah Us
we run the goverment
a republic
the voice of the people
and we
you and me
We dont speak out
we arent heard
because were just the people
we dont have the educations
of the democrats or the republicans
no ivy leaque schools
no seat in the senate
Hell, we dont know our right from wrong
when it comes to politics
they think
But what do THEY know
what makes THEM better than
you
or me
hell even we
we the people of the united states
we are what is known as the human race
and even when it comes to presidents
our voices, arent the ones they collect
a group of people
they elect
who represents
and in the end
our president
is who the state favors
should represent
these politics
bah, you see
that we
no matter who we are
we will always live under these stars
unless we decided
to find who we are
yes, that we is
you and me
the people
no we dont have to become celebraties
or scientists
or someone unique
we have to be
you and me
cuz thats all we can become
you see
in a world full of people
in a universe
so wide
theres all different societies
and theres people who try to hide
They hide behind thier makeup
and they hide behind their style
they blend into a picture
of a class based world
but didnt we trash the cast system years ago
the brahmans and the untouchables
so different
yet so the same
they were both people
just different financial ranks
just like the people of today
So dont you see
That you and me
yes
us teens
we
Triumph
we succeed
we give up
and we breathe
we are who we think we need to be
and in a world of many colors
races, and religions
how are we so different
we
Live
You
you learn
He
He regrets
and She
she loves
us as a people
we make this one planet our own
in a galaxy far and wide
we just have to decide
are we
yes you and me
going to sit back
on this ride
or take a chance
and make a change
we are in high school after all
and we are the human race...
