Black and White

I see the world in black and white

The rich man complex is blowing up the world

But, the price comes with a bite

and I am just a girl

I see the world in black and white

The world is big and such a fright

My family is killed of in some war

I am left home to starve

Become an adult, left to lead

This is what I see on the TV

The rich man gets richer

The world starts to die

I want to see the world in color

To be blind to the terror and injustices

and act like the world is okay

But, I can't close my eyes

all will not stop moving, like I'm playing sims

I see the world in black and white

Sometimes beautiful

Sometimes a fright.
