Description
Everytime I look at the news
I fall into the blues
My heart breaks
Listening to all the fakes
Mass murders over here
Govermnment investigations over there
We look at poverty and starvation everywhere
What is real?
When nothing seems to fall into place
When you look outside and there's no saving grace
Everything seems to be falling apart
The world turned against itself, tearing itself into oblivion
The resurgence of enemies of old
While people are fighting against the cold
The stagnation in congress that they control
They can't even pass a bill that they own
They take away healthcare for millions
Just so that they can rest on their thrones of dead children
They look into your eyes
They say it's all right, that you'll be fine
When in reality, the world is falling apart behind those lies
They say 'They are going to take away your rights!'
And you believe them, despite the fact that in front of your eyes
They themselves, sell them to their corporate overlords
Leaving you as a slave to the system that they control
What will open your eyes?
To see beyond the lies.
To see the people who struggle and die in the streets
Who can no longer exercise their basic human rights
To just live, to just exist
How can you stand there behind this injustice and say that you're righteous
That these adults and children deserve to starve and die
That you're somehow better than those on the streets, fighting so hard for their next meal
Just trying to make ends meet, trying so hard to close that deal
I just wish that you could just see what's real
Maybe then, you could feel
Like the rest of us, that the world broken
And it will take all of us together, to heal
We have to stand up against this evil
Otherwise, we may never seal this wound
