Open your eyes and look around
You keep yell-en
Stop and listen
A man down the street is crying
A kid over there is think-en about die-en
All you can talk about is the president!
I am talking about the present!
Two doors down a child is dreaming
Of the day he will see his dad
When the guy died yesterday
Leaving nothing but the pain in his wake!
All you've been say-en
Is about unfair racism
And yelling about killing with guns!
Here is what I'm saying!
People are dying everywhere
Look at their faces
There nothing there!
Their hearts are crying
All their thoughts are about dying!
While you keep lying!
There is a man whose heart is broken
He has it rock bottom!
All he sees is your complaining!
He asks himself
"What is the point?"
While you keep yelling about peace
At this rate
There won't be
Open your eyes and see
Everything you keep missing.
So I wrote this on the spur of the moment. Sorry if it's no good.
