"Perfect"

song writting

Living in this world today

People talk about dismay

Saying the planet is a wreck

But all I see is perfect

 

Politicians sell their souls for money

When oil is the magic honey

They drive us all into the ground

Their crazy schemes make the world go 'round

 

Religious leaders control our minds

Turning our heads to make us blind

Telling us what’s right and wrong

While the weak-minded play along

 

Sitting around, our actions will cater

To the world’s future dictators

The more we ignore, the more we embrace

Our giving in to the “master race”

 

Retaliation is such a sweet phrase

Total destruction is the new political craze

Annihilating societies with our metal parts

Ripping out other cultures hearts

 

Fires burn little children’s flesh

The putrid smells are still so fresh

Pushing bodies into graves

Death making us it’s slave

 

Living in this world today

People talk about dismay

Saying the planet is a wreck

But all I see is perfect
