The Wrongs Are All Right and the Rights Are All Wrong

I’ve decided to go mad, I mean truly insane.
I live in a country where the people in power have killed the dignity and respect that once we’re main stays.
We once had a sense of what’s right and knew what was wrong but now the wrongs are all right and the rights are all wrong.

So when I look at what’s left I see nothing that’s right. I see fear in our eyes, I see people of mine facing a future of worry and strife. 

I see the greed of the rich wallow in seas of silk and fine wines. I see the real people suffer because of lies upon lies.

So I’ve decided to go mad I mean truly insane. So I can spin in the wind and laugh at the tears of our pain.
