21st Century

How can I feel at ease When I know there is no peace Dead bodies falling from the sky They ain't falling on me, Cause I'm lucky to be free Why'd so many righteous people have to die It is true evidently Many leaders fail to see Making peace is what we need the most and nothing matters more Leave the people in the dark Follow through with no regard And think you can twist the truth to suit your ugly war 21st century Take a look, it's hard to believe The progress that we've made to date Next to all these atrocities 21st century It's all about expediency And what some call democracy Seems just like a joke to me Tell me what does it imply If a mother takes her child To be buried with her refuse because push has come to shove Could it be at seventeen That it could have been foreseen The girl's not ready to be married to someone she's never loved It's a mystery to me People drowning in the sea Unimaginable desperation forced a man away Though his woes may seem so distant Just how can I feel indifferent Can you blame a man for running when his world goes up in flames 21st century Take a look, it's hard to believe The progress that we've made to date Next to all these atrocities 21st century It's all about expediency What some call democracy Seems just like a joke to me 21st century What will be our legacy Why is it that apparently We're on this doomed trajectory Why is it that apparently We're on this doomed trajectory Oh just tell me, how come that we Are on this doomed trajectory Oh, it isn't hard to see the signs But sometimes, sometimes our convictions make us blind Oh, if we can't find a better way We may find out just how fast it gets too late 21st century Take a look, it's hard to believe The progress that we've made to date Next to all these atrocities 21st century It's all about expediency What some call democracy Seems just like a joke to me 21st century What will be our legacy Why is it that apparently We're on this doomed trajectory We're on this We're on this doomed trajectory Just tell me, how come that we Are on this doomed trajectory
