Gather round this fire, sit still and listen
I?ll tell a world you wish not visit
A world where fire substituted rain
Laughter were cries, smiles were pain.
Yesterday's world, the world of today
The game of tomorrow, we now start to play
We awoke the dangers soon fed them the best
Triggered one war that fused with the rest.
Gave away weapons, took away treats
Jobs for the inept, now the ignorant lead
Our youth became old, the old fade away
White became black, all colors turned grey.
Democracy vanished, dictatorship rose
Then died the next day as revolution soon froze
Votes were a myth while facts were untold
Truths were forbidden; strength was to uphold.
This world I describe, ring any bells?
Take a look around, resemblance my tale?
Hand me some sand, I must turn off this fire.
Get up now, get up
This old man must retire.
