My 2 cents

by Jasmine   Aug 2, 2005


That's it! I have had it! Haven't you too?
I'm sick of holding my tongue, and not speaking the truth!

I'm tired of tip-toeing around it, and ignoring real life
I'm tired of trying to escape reality, and not speaking my mind

I'll tell you what's wrong, what needs to be said
This world is a mess, we're just playing pretend

We need to face the music, and realize what's going on
More importantly, act, and instead of watching it fall

Look what we're reduced to, look how we survive
by lying, cheating, killing, just to stay alive

This is gonna sound stupid, but what happened to the old days?
"Good will toward men" Now it's "put on a good face!"

We can't just keep acting like it's all peachy keen
we can't ignore what we've heard or seen

It's not all right, everything's not just great,
if anything, it's horrible, But it's not too late

We gotta do something, before it gets out of hand
otherwise, who knows what will become of this land

Not just the US, but the world, all around
because suffering doesn't know, just one country or town

Don't tell me "be quiet", and "don't make waves"
Isn't the land of the "free", and the home of the BRAVE?

Well, I'm saying it now, because it needed to be said
If nobody acts, then we'll all end up dead

I can try by myself, and maybe make some small change
but imagine how it would be, if we all did the same
