Humans Aren'T Progressing, We'Re Regressing

As humans we are starting to regress. 
Technology moves forward, but we move less. 
What we expect is unrealistic. 
Our culture revolves around being materialistic. 
Some of our past advances were great. 
But we are now playing with the balance of our fate. 
We have mapped our bodies and DNA. 
Now the laws of nature we don't obey. 
Plans for a super soldier is already in motion. 
They are taking out the gene that gives people emotion. 
From early on we are taught that money is everything. 
And anything you want money can surely bring. 
Our overall society was better before the Industrial Revolution. 
Some don't see it that way, but what we are doing, is not evolution.

Respect For Nothing

Standing on the street corners with nothing to do,
Spitting, shouting, smoking whilst drinking taboo,
No money but wishing and pouncing fags,
People assume they the sporn of the council estate hags,
Crack heads, Scag heads everyones opinion,
People know nothing they only just seen them,
But what lies within the true soul you ask,
Many dreams and ambition but scarred of rejection under their dark mask,
Lots kids who speak out in blasphomy to saviour attention,
Tried it at school, ended in dismissal or suspension,
Everything costs money and these kids are so bored,
Retailers brought out computers not something these kids can afford,
But now people moan about this technology being sold,
Kids play too much? The arguments are getting old!
You mock these kids, does it make you feel better?
Explain it to parliament and put it in your snobby little letter,
How can they learn morals when you have opinionated them?
How can they respect society when society don't respect them?

It's the Economy

it's the economy that has taken a major hit
where that paycheck you now receive ain't worth spit
between the bills, the kids, the Metro cards and trying to pay that high rent
your money is gone before you have a chance to see one red cent

it's the economy and what the politicians now are trying to do
is to strip the unions of their rights which will effect me and you
without collective bargaining the workers will lose their power and edge
and those in high positions of power are trying to push us off the ledge

it's the economy that has caused the loss of so many  jobs
yet the big banks towards the  little people they continue to rob
the government bailed them out when they would have closed their doors
yet they never dispersed any of the money that they had pleaded for
creative accounting, dirivatives, hedge funds and ponzi schemes
it's no wonder that the economy has fallen apart at the seams

President Obama is trying to do the best that he can
but those darn Republicans continue to tie up his hands

it's the economy and hopefully one day it will improve
but if it don't from this country i might have to move
