Downward Spiral
A battles been chosen
Started from the lies you have woven
A government meant to protect
Is failing
That's what I detect
Defect
Dishonorable choices
Overriding and shutting down the power of our voices
The first generation to be afraid to speak
Is growing weak
Complacency is all the youth seems to know
Please tell me where did critical thought go
That's right, I thought I saw it fly right out the window
Creativity and education
Have been replaced in our nation
By drugs and thugs
Speed, ****, and greed
Video games, dropping names
Glorification of stupidity
Stories that fall short of validity
The selling of *** has reached an apex
Controls minds like a hex
I'm afraid of what may come next
When the only concern
Is not to learn
But of things going viral
Sure seems we've found ourselves in a downward spiral.
