How many times must we start again
The creation of the world from beginning to end
What will it take before we learn
We gotta wake up now and show some concern
What will the future hold
How many untold stories will be told
Just what will the future bring
How many species of birds will have a song to sing
Man n man cant even get on
N man n womens been at war for far too long
Superior race, all this black and white vision
Catholic, Muslim theres too many religions
Too much hatred, too much greed
Ignorant people pollute the air that we breathe
We gotta wake up now before its much too late
Hungry people need food on their plate
People bein killed for just a few pence
Can you justify that, cause it makes no sense to me
Youre growin up much too fast
The destruction of mankind. How long would it last.

Perfect - thats what Im strivin to be
The next best thing wont do for me
I do my best, you disagree
Holier - than - thou, holier - than - me
Commitin crimes with no remorse
As good as gold, now an evil force
One word description is a dis
You lick a boy down for his bag of cheese n onion crisp
Whatever happened to the dinosaurs could make us all extinct
And you dont even stop to think
Im bein judged by the clothes that I wear
We gotta educate those with a grudge to bear
But Im content to a certain extent
Youre condemned for life, its too late to repent
Inna - most beauty, such a terrible waste
Caught between a rock n a hard place.

Be judged by accordin to what youve done
Live this life, the next is a better one
Eat the fruit from the tree of life
Cause if you live by the sword... youll die by the knife
How great and wonderful are your days
How right and true are your ways...
No more death, grief, cryin or pain
Cause only the good things will remain...
Heed my words cause what Im sayin is true
Treat them exactly as they treated you
Wipe away the tears from your eyes
Be proud, lift your head up - reach for the skies.

Condemned for what you did to them
Now see how quick they fall to worship him
Theres a place in my heart that makes me understand
Prepared n ready like a bride dressed to meet her husband
Treat life like a learning process
I said turn right, so you took a sharp left
Wake up and well all sleep peacefully
The sun shines but it still seems bleak to me
You tell a lie and convince me its the truth
Im well mannered but you still call me uncouth
I believe that theres got to be much more
I hope Im ready when death comes knockin on my door
Maybe tonight, maybe as I sleep
It can drive you mad if you think too deep
But dont have a breakdown because I called you a clown
You threw a punch n missed, I killed you with a kiss
What on earth will you be then
The hour of your death amen
N all the prejudice that Ive sustained
I know it sounds funny but I just cant stand the pain
