They Say It's Right



They say it's right
That some people get taunted and ridiculed.

They say it's right that people are hated because of
Who
They
Are.

They say it's right that the
hardest
working
are out on the streets.

They say it's right, but I say it's

Wicked
Reckless
Offensive
Narcissistic
Greedy
