A battles been chosen

Started from the lies you have woven

A government meant to protect

Is failing

That's what I detect

Defect

Dishonorable choices

Overriding and shutting down the power of our voices

The first generation to be afraid to speak

Is growing weak

Complacency is all the youth seems to know

Please tell me where did critical thought go

That's right, I thought I saw it fly right out the window

Creativity and education

Have been replaced in our nation

By drugs and thugs

Speed, ****, and greed

Video games, dropping names

Glorification of stupidity

Stories that fall short of validity

The selling of *** has reached an apex

Controls minds like a hex

I'm afraid of what may come next

When the only concern

Is not to learn

But of things going viral

Sure seems we've found ourselves in a downward spiral.
