Everything is awful, and you do not understand.
Look around the world, the thoughts that we command
Nothing is original, & everything’s been done.
Except the things that matter: those battles have not been
won.
Do you believe the news is factual? That is your opinion,
right?
I cannot say it is wrong. But I can boast that mine’s more
right.
Speaking of rights, do you know that you have none?
You sold away your privilege for security from smoking guns.
Not that guns are evil, but the concept of killing stands.
Who made you the judge and jury over the life of another
man?
And by the way about life? Why do you make a stand
About how and who a person loves and debate about
pro-choice?
If morals are not legally binding, and religion has no
voice,
What good is any notion of evil? Relativists could rejoice.
All actions and decisions of individuals defined by hazy
means.
If you do not know their life, no legitimate protest can be
seen.
Why do anything at all? You’ll be snared at any move.
Everything is awful. No matter what you do.

Everything is aweful, and you do not understand.
Look around the world, the thoughts that we command.
We may not be original, but we do as best we can.
So many things matter to so many different people,
Their ends are not the same, but we are created equal.
There are problems, there is pain,
But such things cannot be evil.
I know that I can be as militant with words as with a gun,
I can choose to kill ambitions or
Defend others who are frozen in the sights of another one.
I must pick my battlegrounds carefully,
For I know when the fight have begun,
I am held responsible for the crossfire
Stray reports can injure by-standing daughters and sons.
I did not ask for this, but I have been given life.
I wish that others have a chance at the same
I want others to survive.
I do not know about how others will choose to live.
I am responsible for my own life, how much that I can give.
I am young today, but I know how short that will last.
I have hope that we’ll learn from the lessons of the past.
Everything is aweful and I wish you could understand.
I do all that I may become, who dares do more is a greater man.
