Today's Society

I curse the day that this Earth was polluted

With son'a'bitch’s, heartless bastards; whatever name suits them

If I could go back in time, I would go back and stop today’s civilization from being made

We live in a world that undermines ones self confidence, strips them of identity, and forces them to fade.

 

You have no idea how today’s society pisses me off

I’ve watched too many of my close friends lose themselves and get lost

Lost in insults from the outside world, swimming in their own lack of personality,

Being drained of their pride, stripped from their own sense of rationality

 

In this world, people don’t matter. It’s all about sex, money, cars,

Drugs, alcohol, partying, entertainment, or even, if were lucky, becoming a star

People just don’t care about hurting people’s feelings anymore,

I guess the ol’ “Treat others the way you would like to be treated” started to

Become a bore.

 

But to blame you, my friends, would just be a tragedy

That’s not to say that this hate will ever go away, though, this continuous agony
