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
