My Society.

Give me love. I'll give you tears. Give me trust. I'll give you fears. Give me all that you hold dear. I'll numb your heart with drugs and beers. Give me innocence. I've none of my own. Give me your hope. Then leave it alone. Give me the things that make you yourself. I'll give you all these, they're bad for your health. Give me your dreams, the time you would spend. I'll give you false joy, I'll help you to blend. Give me your mind, you don't even use it. See I can tell, I've heard all your music. Give me your all, thats all that I want. I won't return anything. Not even once. Give me your nights, your days, and between. I'll give you obsession with paper thats green. Lend me your ears, it's not like you listen. Just look at your world, your sorry position. Stop asking questions, just give me your soul. This is my society. And I have said no.
