Nothing is true anymore What happened to our lives? This used to be a world of love and affection Now it is full of hate and lies Before there used to be commitment Without time being minimized And without no one ever judging someone With one look into their eyes Now there is nothing but hatred Racism and cruelty What happened to our worlds? Our lives? Our society Terrorist attacking People judged at first sight Robberies and gang brawls In the middle of the night What happened to this world today? My parents talk about how it’s a cynical time About how some people make commitments Without an open mind Profound new languages Spoken everyday Young teen pregnancies Fathers never stay Divorce and unresolved differences Swallowing the world Make-up hiding faces Boys raping girls What happened to the theory About how life is perfect the way it is? When people are dying everyday But some are never missed People threatening the innocent Wives and children strayed Hoping there was something we could do But that’s what the world is today
