Our society has a crack
We have to back track because there is a lack
Kids young as ten saying F this and F that
They need to get to class and be tamed
If they want to get some fame then why do they put themselves to shame

There once was respect
All that's left is a doppler effect,
Waves of wreck from the one coast to the next

The dream of a perfect future smashed to pieces
What can we do to protect our visions

When all things are going downstream,
When all self esteem is gone,
When our color schemes turn gray,
We can only pray that a jet stream of hope beams light years away

Maybe we can join teams
Maybe there is a cure
Surely we know what to do,
Some of us try, but do you?
