In This World

In this world, we are sick
and nothing is for free,
Oil makes us tick
and blessings are obscene,
In this world, we're all alone
and the night starts too soon,
Words are sticks and stones
and hate is full as the moon,
In this world, we see the dead
and grief is all but here,
Lawless guilt weighs like lead
and our hearts have turned to fear,
In this world, a conscience kills
and there is no escape,
There is no price on pills
and no penalty for rape,
In this world mistakes are made
and nothing is for sure,
We all wish the sun had stayed
and condoms are a cure,
In this world, no families exist
and souls are what we sell,
The evil inside, you can't resist
and let me welcome you to hell.
