Lock Out

The ballot's cast, the votes are in

Our workers slave so we can sin

Take advantage while you can

So think about it, the life I take for granted

And everyday I tend to whine about it.

I'm confused and amused, must I choose?

What should I do?

I feel tied down, I feel locked out

I see you struggle, but what;s this issue really about

Should we tempt fate, and try to change things before we die

It's cold and I wonder if we'll make it through the night

Though the world keeps spinning while we cower in our fright

So I think about it, I think of ways to try

A boy is shot downtown and

No one cares if he dies

Do we care or do we lie

But I do, I do care, but why, I'm scared, to think, of what I've become

And what this is all about

I feel locked out

I take a look outside, I see the protesters march and cry

I don't know why they bother, failing when they try

but attitudes like mine, only worsen times

I'm full of negative thoughts, I'm full of negative rhymes these are my negative lines
