A society held together at the seams,
By Starbuck’s and cars and broken dreams.
We breathe in the society like it’s mountain air,
Straying away from it would be too hard to bear.
And we say that we’ve progressed,
And we say that we’re not money and sex obsessed,
Then why is almost all of America depressed?
It’s about time to put these lies to rest.
We live in a world where anything different is bad,
We spend thousands to keep up with the Apple fad.
Men should be fearless and look like Hollister boys,
Women are like fruit, useful when ripe, useful as toys.
Whereas those in poverty can’t get any fruit to eat,
And the government says that McDonald’s soda is too sweet.
Society has scars for eyes; like a horse, we’re too blinded to see,
We can’t see the wars, the truth, the inequality.
It’s not okay for budding children to be cut from their breath,
And for a woman on a bus to be faced with rape and death.
This society is corrupt beyond repair,
And we think we can save it with a prayer.
