We're a civilization controlled by lies;
A crumbling society that turns violent in the blink of an eye.
Corrupt governments around the world refusing to acknowledge their broken systems.
Corrupt police shooting innocent victims.
Riots renamed to "protests."
Those rioters claiming that the violence will solve the neglect.
What happened to peace?
Trying to end the thousands of murders on the streets?
Why is Detroit not being fixed?
Why does Camden all of a sudden not exist?
There are millions of homeless living in Hell,
yet we do nothing to help.
It's a shame,
when will we learn that life isn't a game?
Can we save this ship before it sinks?
Because I'm pretty sure that the water is already past our knees.
