Conviction

We talk about autonomy and respect, but all I see is a lack of responsibility

Sometimes the difference between what's wrong or right,

Is not just a matter of personal insight

We shouldn't have to worry about punks driving while intoxicated

We shouldn't have the stupid fights when people are annihilated

We shouldn't have to hear the many statements based on bigotry

With negative references to gender, race and others' sexuality

An honest mistake or an act of convenience?

An honest mistake or a pure lack of common sense?

Do we have no conviction for the words we like to say?

Riding down this path of stagnancy, surely there's a better way

If we refuse to start to care then this is how things will stay

Think before you consume

And think before you act

If we don't, nothing will change - It's a proven fact

If we're gonna sit back and complain about the laws we shouldn't need

Then go and commit the very crimes on which law makers feed

Don't try to play "make-believe" in this false reality

Where you steal from friends and don't give a fuck while screaming "anarchy"

An honest mistake or an act of convenience?

An honest mistake or a pure lack of common sense?

Do we have no conviction for the words we like to say?

Riding down this path of stagnancy, surely there's a better way

???

If we refuse to start to care then this is how things will stay

We talk about respect

And autonomy

But all that I see

Is a lack of responsibility

Sometimes the difference

Between what's wrong or right

is not a matter of opinion

Or personal insight
