Violence
Drugs
Bombs
Hate
Deceit
War
This is the world around us

Every day we live in a world of utter destruction
Not knowing how to function
With all of this chaos and dysfunction

The government is shutdown:
To many faces, this brings a frown
For we know we will not swim- but drown

I can’t stand all this confusion
They create this illusion
That warps our minds into thinking this is it, the conclusion

We are dumb
We are nothing
We will never make it
So keep us dumb
Keep us voiceless
We are under your spell
But we will prevail
And rise above this
