Greed

The evil plaguing our world is really overbearing
money and power stops people from caring
no law and order, just fear in our hearts
and sadly, we have all played our parts

We are to blame for the madness around
we caused it, because we didn't make a sound
they play us like we're pawns in a game
and the fact that we let them, is a crying shame

They murder, pillage and rob us all blind 
and again we let them, it boggles the mind
remember this land is belongs to every one 
and its not just for one party or family to run

They don't even realize they're committing treason,
they just do things, without even reason
lying, cheating and stealing for personal gain
how has all this not driven us all insane??

We want progress but we're going in circles
and then we sit and wait hoping for a miracle
are we really that stupid? have we learned nothing?
a change wont come if we don't do something

But no, we ignore it all like it's not our problem
and then we whine because all we see is bedlam
we want change, but we don't do anything for it
and we watch as the world is run by raging halfwits

If we continue to let greed reign, we're all fools
they don't care about us, to them we're all tools
we will continue to be overrun by thuggery and crime
and doing nothing about it, is just a waste of time

Call me a dreamer or whatever you want to
at the end of it all you'll realize that its true
the power to make a change is in our own hands
and sooner or later we will have to make a stand
