When Will The World End?

Woke up too late and I've wasted a day

Shouldn't care so much but I'm wasting away

My get up and go seems to have got up and left

Must have slipped out the door as I laid here to rest



Lets see what happens as The Sun starts to rise

Its the dawn of deceit and telling more lies

Snapshots were somehow leaked to the press

But the editor don't care if they cause a distress



They'll tell us all who we must detest

The panic button will surely get pressed

Cos they're saying terror is not far away

But they've been saying that for years and a day



Too sick and too tired of worshiping heroes

And fed up of inflating their wallets and egos

I must admit I find peace in their deaths though

When all of their assets are really worth zero



This surely now is our biggest test

I am no leader I have to confess

I know all the questions I just don't have the answers

But I know theres a light hidden behind all this darkness



This lack of ambition sums up the nation

Living in fear of the suns radiation

Sea levels rising but we're drowning our sorrows

We're too blind to see that we don't need to follow



For a kingdom united the names such a fake

We're only united when our pride is at stake

But theres no pride in this country so let them eat cake

For defeat is the victory we all love to hate



What is wrong with our school's education?

Promoting hate and experimentation

The Government shouts "don't be so dramatic!"

They only say that cos they're all drug fanatics



And then they all seem to think that war is a game

Whether you win or you lose you can start it again

With the intelligence stored in a digital brain

The thought of a failure is purely insane



Technology's faulty but who is to blame?

The machines or the master that lent them his name

When destruction comes nearer what will we do then?

When Frankensteins monster starts to seek his revenge



And so I'll leave you with my thoughts of the day

You can take them or leave them and throw them away

This world was so wondrous but there's not much left

So think about that as you lay down to rest

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This started off as a poem and is going to become the last song on my solo album I'm working on. It basically sums up a lot of my thoughts and views on society but I don't preach that you should think the same. Just think.
