     Our world, a dismal kind of place
     Where we create another race
     Full of hate and people cruel
     Where a reign of terror rules

     People fall, things decay
     And everything goes awray 
     When you look, can’t you see
     Things are closing in on me

     Even though we try to shun
     The disaster has only just begun
     Nothing left, we have no time
     Ticking down to right the crime

     In our world, a great big rift
     Nothing left, nor sand to sift
     A cry of terror and despair
     Why can’t people seem to care?

     Through the mist and then the haze
     Why are people power crazed
     Always control and then the will
     Time to fight then time to kill

     Why can’t I seem to comprehend 
     Why different people just can’t mend
     Their differences and their ways
     And then we see the numbered days

     We’re dying here, my world and yours
     The world is bleeding through many pores
     Because we don’t dare do a thing
     Everyday, another king

     Ruled by possessions, property too
     Can’t you see what is true
     Stop your bickering, fighting please
     It is not what our country needs

     I ask of you to stop it now
     And to money, please don’t bow 
     Solve the problems and maybe then
     We will have time with to spend
