I'll never live my dream,
but I'll try to understand..
Exactly how to make it,
In such a selfish land...
Yeah everybody's fine
We're all perfectly sane...
We think without minds
And complain about change...
Its funny if you think
How the world always turns,
We live the same destiny
And nobody learns...
Murder fills the streets,
The jails are overloaded..
20 killed in Iraq,
Another bomb exploded...
I wanna make a difference
But what the hell for,
5,000 died from a self inflicted war...
We just look away
It's our nature to neglect...
The facts and the truth,
what happened to respect?
what happened to our rights
That we couldn't protect?
Yet we're falling apart
what more to expect.
I lie awake and wonder
What do I got left...
Just living for the day
And waiting for the next.

    I really like this one! just stating the pure truth of what this world has come to. ive felt like that as well....you want to make a difference, but people have become so ignorant and caught up in the wrong ideas that sometimes it seems impossible
