Tonite

Wrong is growing faster than right. 
Its killing people both day and night. 
Rape, robbery, killing, it's all going on. 
From sunset in the morning dawn. 

The fastest growing industry in the 
world is ****. somebody tell me what's 
going on. What happened to the goodness 
we had, how did things get so bad. 

Where did the respect we had for each 
other go, for some reason I don't know. 
There was a time when someone smiled 
that feeling would last for a while. But when 
some people smile today it could mean 
good or bad who knows which way. 

Time is running out for the good 
at heart, hate is winning and the world 
is falling apart. Weapons in the hands 
of evil minds. It looks to me like it's all 
a matter of time. 

Corruption seems to be a way of life 
right is wrong and wrong is right. 
I don't know what we are going to do 
God still loves us and the sky is blue. 

it's sad and funny at the same time 
as we leave truth and love behind. 
like a smiling face turned upside down 
like living in the lost and found. 

We have come so far but yet not far enough 
there're too many people saying so what. 
Fire is hot and it will burn, if the lesson 
of love is not learned. there such an 
opportunity for all of us to do what's 
right, but I bet it won't happen tonite,
