We'Re Not In Kansas Anymore

Always to much negotiation
Never enough appreciation

Things being loved
People being hated

Emojis over the internet
Emotions muted we don't need them

Children with issues angry and "dumb"
Let's give them pills, let's make them numb

Shootings inside schools and churches
Masses being murdered in front of media

Little girls twerking in front of millions
Trying to fit in to the latest trending

Politicians lying to get your votes
Knowing when they succeed nothings done

Our sad little world will still go around and round
Everything will remain the same it's the new way now

As long as there's a justifiable motive behind our actions
We'll continue to sit on our hands, completely in silence
