Just Look Around

he question they keep asking me

how can one so young be so bitter and angry

well, the answer is plain to see

maybe if they wernt so blind theyd see what i see

i see the homeless livin out on the street

on every corner theyre asking for money

i try to help them whenever i can

but sometimes i cant afford to help myself

i see diseases and modern plagues of our times

the greed of our leaders has made them blind

to our problems

they spend millions overseas,

people right here are fightin wars everyday

i see the whites that hate the blacks

blacks against the jews, race against religion

and there all too blind to see

when we fight each other it puts all of them at ease

it keeps us so busy, so they can do what they please

election time comes and theyre out for votes

thats when you see and hear from them the most

this is what theyre calling a democracy

thats just another word for hypocrisy

we keep fallin for the bait

when we realize, its always too late

i see the whites that hate the blacks

blacks that hate the jews, brother against brother

and theyre all to blind to see

as the rich get richer, the poor goin hungry

ive seen the toll it takes on the workingmans family

education system thats obsolete

cant hold a kids interest or keep em off the street

see a fathers fear, hear a mothers cry

what kind of a nation lets their children die

governments corrupt and full of red tape

then youre gonna ask me why i hate

why dont you open up your eyes so you can see

open up your ears so you can hear

take a look around and you will find

take a look around and you will find out why
