Chaos,
Fires raging.
Life.
Diseases sweeping the nations.
People dying.
Women crying
As their children are swept
Into a world
Where the past is all but lost.
Forgetting where you come from
May be the biggest crime of all.
It’s hard to keep going on
Because I can’t find any good songs.
They’re all about making love
At the bar,
In the street on the car.
There’s no dignity anymore.
‘Cause saving yourself is ‘Old Fashioned.’
No one cares
If they get STDs.
Welcome to the 21st Century.
