Story of A World

Listen my children and you shall hear

The story of a World out of gear

It started out as a nice little place and turned into a terrible race

Between those who shall see the sun rise and those who shall not

It’s our planet of beauty and catastrophes

And it’s creating its very own masterpiece

Let me simplify all the troubles that seem to lie between our ground and sky

Over here in the USA

The president never has much to say beside that he’s playing a mad man’s game

There’s the CIA and the FBI

Trying to think like the brain of a mastermind

But he isn’t kind and he’s way smarter than those bozos cause he’s not easy to find

With a world like this I really insist

What are we doing here?

If all we can do is make things disappear

Before we all evaporate, why don’t we disintegrate?

Hell is hot and Heaven is cold

Everybody’s shaping their own play dough mold

Listening to all the lies being sold

Time flies without going anywhere

Some treat it with care

Some treat it with worries

I treat it with a river of tears

Love is suppose to make the world go round

Not hate and burial grounds

The day has finally come when you shall hear;

‘Go ahead and hate your neighbors

Go ahead and cheat a friend

Do it in the name of heaven

You can justify it in the end’

Our president went to Afghanistan

And got rid of the Taliban which helped seeds sprout in freedom land

But he didn’t finish his call

Leaving Afghanistan, rapped around in a turban

He had Osama on the run

He said North Korea had the bomb

But he couldn’t get the truth to come

So he went to Iraq, to see if he could get Saddam in the sack

He got the regime to tumble

But that just made more trouble

They couldn’t find the bomb

And Now we are still waiting for the truth to come

The shadows is crawling faster

The people will not see it until the sun rises

But some unfortunate fellow is sitting on the sun

Now all his brothers and sisters he can longer see

Paranoia has seized the countries of the world

Annihilations and retaliations is the new law of the land

Every being may be holding their hope as a bag of sand

But the saints won’t come marching in this century

The land is infested with germs

Germs that we have bred

Soon or later everything will be dead

Who wants some land?

Everyone raise your hand

Palestine
and Israel

Two perfect devils

Doesn’t matter whose holy land

The devils brother could live there

And no one could say he hasn’t been here

The law of the land, the law that god created is almost forgotten

The law still is instated with the hope that one day some one will remember

The land doesn’t belong to the people; the people belong to the land

The poor feed the rich

In all the their glamour and all their fame

All them rich folks are dying inside

All about they look but they can’t understand why

When an idea of generosity is suggested

Not one wants to share their pockets

Some may say there’re people starving over there

There’re people fighting over here

There are dead children walking the streets

Look at the
Asia, look at Oceania

Look at South America

Look at the streets of
North America

Look at
Africa

But when ever evil is uncovered

When ever a problem can be stop

When ever a solution can be found

The story reply is always

This is
Africa, nobody cares about Africa

Brothers and sisters, children of the world

This is our planet of beauty and catastrophes

I dare not push what I see into your eyes

But let this final message be heard

Listen to your heart crying “Lord, save my people”

It is time we learn a little

The job of the lord is done

The people must save themselves
