Saw a documentary about the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster today, and came up with this: There's a person waiting for you to come back home and sleep by her side She waits for a future with you and her and maybe an innocent child You could play all day and put him on your back You could see the smile on his face and spend the rest of your life like that Do you really wanna give that away? Do you really wanna give them away? Or are you waiting for the world to say Please don't **** me for you ego I don't deserve to die right now Remember the games you used to play as a kid? The ones with Superman and the bad guys You've grown up now and there's no Superman I'm not so sure about the bad guys Do you know how many kids are playing that very game right now? Do you know how many mothers are praying for their safety right now? Do you really wanna take that away? Do you have any right of playing with their happiness this way? Or are you waiting for the world to say Please don't **** me for your ego I don't deserve to die right now I'm a man, I'm a common man A faceless man, an innocent man I'm walking on the street Following my daily routine Can you give me a reason for killing me slowly? For killing my parents, my wife, my kids my friends and my family? I know you can't I know you can't I know you can't Coz you're the same as me Please don't **** me for your ego I don't deserve to die right now
