Why are you waiting?

lyrics

Don't matter how much make up,
that don't change much, we can all see what your'e made of!
Wake up, to be yourself it doesn't take much,
just listen to your heart, the rest your fate will take up.

They blame us, enrage us to then throw us in cages.
Lost 'cause we think only god can save us.
Ruled by fools that act like they're sages.
Go to school get a job say a prayer,
after that maybe then they will raise your wages.
That's the way they betray us.

Conversations have faded,
we don't talk to listen, we don't listen to answer!
So much porn people don't even make love!
life is imprisoned, death for the taking!
Religion, Tv, smart phone, now am I mistaken?
you want change then why the fuck are you waiting?


Don't stress, brothers and sisters,
it's not about how you dress,
it's more about how you stretch
your mind far away from the mess.
Now don't try to impress,
unless it's for the love you invest.

Bless your surroundings,
make your enemy your guest.
A piece of happiness to take this pain off your chest.
You possess an object,
don't let yourself be possessed!

Now don't get me confused here,
you can have anything, it all depends how you use it.
Since they invented smart phones
it's like my friends have just muted!
Eyes bleeding stuck to a screen that they're glued in.

They tell me live with your generation,
I'm like is that improvement?
Shut the fuck up yo, I want some movement!
