blinded by the sight of life
caught up in its daily strife
where truth decays and bodies lay
and no one wants to save the day
no one wants to dare to say
that something must be done today
no one wants to change the way
we've lied and cheated
                                          - forgot to pay
and when i ask and wonder why
it always comes back to that same lie
the everything is fine and good
that everything is the way it should
that nothings wrong and your messed up
when they're the ones all ****** up
they're the ones who beat you down
and now we're scared to make a sound
and now we cry ourselves to sleep
next to bodies piled in one big heap

where's the love and all the compassion?
don't you know that you should take action?

extend a hand and help a friend
or maybe just stick until the end
prove to me you're more than cold
prove to us that you are bold
show the world you really care
write it down; its time to share
before you've fallen just too deep
so at night you can soundly sleep
