If you can keep your head
when you’re surrounded by idiots
who blindly believe
If you dream of a future
where no one goes hungry,
no one in need
If your head spins from lies,
corruption and greed,
from sources empowered,
trusted to read. us the news.
If you care about kindness
and feel pain when others,
are hurt due to ignorance
of assholes unkind.
If you respect all creation,
and don’t understand,
why people and creatures
suffer at the hands
of inhumane humans
who don’t have a plan
to make anything better
if they can’t make a buck,
I know they all mock us,
think we’re all dumb as fuck
keep telling us it’s just
a run of bad luck
while they reap giant profits
Did i say reap? I meant SUCK
till there’s nothing to suck
because they’ve sucked it all up
If you believe in equality
and justice for all,
while living in horror
or hiding or fear
at the hateful who profit
by war and division
and shameless abuse
of the poor and the meek
If everything around you
seems way too insane,
a fucked up new normal,
a pain in the brain,
each new profanity
a breath of insanity,
making the last one
seem comfortable, fuzzy and warm.
If this is a world
that ain’t one you prefer,
and the people in power
seem doomed to make things worse
If you keep falling and getting back up
when the world seems dead set
on knocking your ass
right back to the pavement
as soon as you do.
If making things better
still seems important,
even after all
we’ve all been through
Then remember one thing,
my friend most of all.
The bigger the asshole,
the louder they fall
For so many have eyes
but refuse to be able
to see through the lies
to the truth on the table
in Freedom’s last light
We fade into denial
with barely a fight,
Staring into the Void
of our future destroyed
Pretending the darkness
Is too fucking bright
time to wake up now
the nightmare won’t end until we do
If…
