Save the World

In this confusing world of pink hearts and lullabies,
I struggle to pick the truths from the lies.
but I came up with nothing.
and damn ashamed of the nakedness of my being.

Is this really me?
I have fallen gracelessly.
I am the black sheep on a wool blanket,
shitting on all that I call my own.

Fuck this modern nightmare.
Society has created a two-faced monster.
Jump on the band wagon and disappear,
Stay on the road only if you dare.

There is an unsaid protocol,
governing this fucked up generation.
You can only rebel so much,
only escape so far,
before you are pulled back into this utter misery.

and I laugh at those who have fallen,
in this wasted battle.
Whiny little brats with Nerf guns in hand,
stars of our real-life Truman Show.

Freedom has a price,
and we can't afford it.
Mastercard better pull this account,
or life will be over as we know it.

There is so little left to say,
but so much more to do.
All we know is to scream and shout,
while the heroes are out to pay our dues.

For every ten people breathing on this world,
ten thousand more spawn.
For every dozen cookies our mommies bake,
millions more are thrown away, past their expiration dates.

None of that makes any sense,
the irony of a rational species.
Why try to change the world,
when our current problems are only given "maybe"s?

Fuck it all, I'm going back to sleep.
You can try to find answers in the oceans deep.
Better come back before the lands have sunken,
and nations destroyed from pride and arrogance.

So go and save the world damn it.
