Late Departures

I conclude that I hate the world today Everything people are and what they say They speak no kind words by gesture or sound There is no common decency around People are not nice like they were before I hate that there's no respect anymore We are seriously lacking dignity To a human race no affinity We're all offended or aggravated Whilst we act so cold and calculated There's very few out there who won't pretend Everyone's an enemy to a friend We are ultimately in regression Forcing ourselves into an oppression Like we've gone back to the days of the cave Not so the Stone Age ways should we enslave Is it all about tearing someone apart? Does anyone have love left in their heart? Don't mean to be unkind But if you wouldn't mind I'd like to step off the planet now please We are giving such little guarantees I will take you with me If you would like to see An end to this damned scrutinising show Time to leave ~ to somewhere only we know
