Truths within our society

Brandon Mcmurtrie 1994 (Lodi)



Misguided Entitled Youth, Blindfolded From The Truth, I Don't Know Why, Either We Build A Wall Or They Kill Us All, I'm Sure That They Will If We Let them.

 Underpaid Officers, Some Killing civilians And It Doesn't Make Sense, They Say That's Just The World Though, Power To The People Because There's Too Much Evil, No One's Equal, Because Life Isn't Fair,

 If You Want My Number, Then It's Me who's Taken For Granted, Taken Advantage Of In A World Of Greed What Can We Do? But There's still Good Left.
You have To Have Faith No Matter What Happens You Can Never Break,
A Soldier Comes Home, but they're Never Really Home, Hard To Change When Your Scared Of The Unknown, we All Have A Past, All Have A Story One Person Falling Is Another Ones Glory,
People Only Care About The Views Of Fake News, But we have to Remember Once It's Seen It Can't Be Unseen, Now I Feel Abused, And I'm All Confused Wondering If This Is Just A screwed up Dream, But There's Still Some Good Left.
   You've Got To Have Faith And No Matter What Happens You Can Never Break, I Know That I Won't Because I Will Fight Back, because I'm Not Going Out Like That, I Refuse To.
