The Way the World Works

Life. It's not supposed to be fair.

It's not supposed to be even

Not supposed to care.

 

But I'm saying

Crying out asking

Always asking

Why can't the world show me

A little mercy, kindness, or love?

 

'Cause the world would be a better place

If we all loved like family.

Love so deep there's no room

No place for hate

 

Sadly, this isn't the way the world works.

We are all much too greedy

Propelled by a single desire

A desperation to get so much more.

 

We all gossip

So we all hate

Here is the truth

This is how it works.

Friends turn upon friends

Without a care.

 

The hate that runs deep in our veins

It's a natural part of us.

Surges through our very beings

Purging us of love.

 

Is this truly how the world works?

Hate instead of healing

Killing in place of kindness?

 

Life. It's not supposed to be fair.

It's not supposed to be even

Not supposed to care.
