Life As It Is

Society robs our youth from innocence,

And our generation doesn't give a care 'cause they don't know what they have to miss.

And adults act surprised when their kids are depressed,

As the world like a thief steals their ignorance.

And destruction lies on the corner of every street,
While construction admits to it's defeat.
In a grave folly lies,
As people give up with just one try.
And the kids learn to not care about anything,
Because for some it's better than feeling.
Others view life as a joke or a game to play,
But once you lose, it's no longer funny.
And people travel from place to place,
To find where they fit in, to find a space.
But if they started with theirself they might fit in,
If they learned to be happy in their own skin.
Sometimes people search when nothing is lost.
Some give up their morals if that is the cost.
People give away self-respect and dignity,
As they drown themselves in iniquity.
It's a broken world, so wake up sleeper and see,
If you want change it has to start with you and me.
