The World

the world
is full of free radicals
telling the conservatives
to take a sabbatical

everything is about
free this and free that
no one wants to work
to get where they're at

gotta remember
life isn't a game
earth spins around
a ying and a yang

have a balance
of the good
and the bad

but people always say
they want to be free
but when
everything is ungoverned
chaos reigns supreme

they dont want
to be controlled
but then
they want security
til they grow old?

to much
or not enough
is one in the same

gotta
keep it even
if we wish to remain
