Sad Because I Am
The world has gone mad
My smile has turned sad
Everything good is now bad
Truth cast out for lies
Trust in each other unties
The world around me cries
All vision and no ears
No intelligence just fears
In denial for a hundred years
I was scared of the A bomb
I was worried about fallout and waste
I was troubled by masked guns
I was concerned that one day we'd all burn
I feared all the animals would be eaten
I believed the oceans could swallow us
I thought one day there would be no air
The world has gone mad
My smile is now sad
Everything goods turned bad
I didn't believe that i could be so terrified
So terrified to my core of the human race
It's sad because I am.
