Do Something

My native tongue is controversy As common as the homeless on the street Unwanted feelings of fear and blame Elicited from those who got it made For they waste the potential for right And now the country is in a social fight (Within my sight the children fly) Microscopic facials drain all the budgets Instead of giving communities their needed facelift (Within my sight the children fly) (Chorus) Some call me a prophet A leader, the orator of the century Other comeback with hypocrite A deceiver, a nation’s worst enemy I am nothing but a man Wanting the world to stand And do something impossible Consider you ignorance as murder Theories and formulas great in isolation But fall apart with society’s infections Not to mention the devastation From some neighbors’ mass complication (But colors will be brilliant again) The black and white of this situation Has eliminated billions from the equation (But colors will be brilliant again) (Chorus) And do the unexpected Treat with honor those rejected For their plagues was not of their blame But the men and women who don’t save the day Tears fall to the weary ground Gladness never seems to come around (Sounds of joy and laugher blast the ear) Even those we see in our daily functions Can’t do better without that proper education (Sounds of joy and laugher blast the ear) (Chorus) So listen to the voice of better spring The dictionary will eliminate the term “need” As well as “plead” and “sorrow” But we start today and not tomorrow (Chorus/ Ending)
