When Will It Stop

The world we live in is full of hatred and greed Not caring about others as long as we succeed We’re only for ourselves, hey I made it by For the rest of the world all you have to do is lie They teach us when were younger to do what you can But in order for you to do that you must beat every other man They teach us to steal and how to cheat to get ahead All around the world all the things are being spread People being snobby as they pass you on the street Returning your smile with a frown of bitterness and conceit They‘re impatient, rude and always on the run They’re only 14 and already have a gun They disobey their parents and back talk people of higher rank They take things from others and don’t even want to thank They scream and they fight and threaten to kill They do what they want and live for the thrill No matter how much we have all we want is more When ever something goes wrong all we do is declare war We never give unless we expect something in return There’s nothing in the world but money that we yearn The world we live in is full of hatred and greed Where everyone thinks that their the higher breed They cut everyone down to make sure they’re on the top But tell me please, when will it stop
