A tooth for a tooth
An eye for an eye
The whole world can't chew
The whole world is blind
                              The whole world can't eat
The whole world can't sleep
The whole world is drowning
Though 'it's not that deep'
                              A prayer for the sinful
An alter is served
You wail as you suffer
It's what you deserved
                              The whole world is crying
There - under their masks
And yet they continue
Their meaningful tasks
                              A speech for the sheep
An audible phrase
You 'help' them by talking
Though there's better ways
                              You sit in your office 
All safe and content
You say you're a 'leader'
But to what extent?
                              Quote is from the song 'Nine' by La dispute
