I see the bad state the world's in
there's corruption all around
I see the evils in business
the greed in profit
I see the pollution that we cause
This world's at war
yet
I want no part...
I see the papers brainwashing
the workers
The media hypnotizing
the viewers
I see politicians talking
big words
and people
believing
These crazy consumer people
buying products beyond their means!
Zombies in the shops
annoying commercials on the box
and giant billboards
I can't miss
Is this what life is?
it's a fake fake world
full of lies lies
I see the homeless
walking the street
and the crime on TV
I see the old
telling the young
this is
how life
should be...
But this is the way we live
it's the only way we know
and I want no part...
I contemplate God
I think of the devil
The clock keeps ticking
My cigarette keeps burning
The pints keep pouring
and
I just
keep
watching
because
after all
I'm young and what do I know?
