31. OBLIVIOUS AND NUMB

 

WE’RE LIVING IN A WORLD OF DIRT

A CITY FULL OF SIN

NO SHAME FOR ALL THE THINGS WE’VE DONE

OR FOR THE MESS WE’RE IN.

LITTER BLOWS ABOUT THE STREETS

THROWN FROM HOME AND CAR,

THERE IS NO PRIDE IN HOW WE LIVE

HOW DID WE FALL SO FAR?

WE SEEM TO NEED DESTRUCTION

VIOLENCE AND PAIN,

AND YET WE ONLY HAVE ONE WORLD

THE CHANCE WON’T COME AGAIN.

WILL OUR CHILDREN LOVE US

IN THE YEARS TO COME,

DO YOU THINK THEY’LL THANK US

FOR ALL THE THINGS WE’VE DONE,

OR AS THEY GROW AND LOOK AROUND

WILL THEY TOO BECOME,

UNCARING AND DESRUCTIVE

OBLIVIOUS AND NUMB!
