There's too much violence, too much hate
Not enough love to spread through the great
World we live in, and all those silly values
Turn our hearts and minds into news.
A cigarette, a broken bottle, A scream
Another one lost, so fucked up it seems
But living today like it's the last day you live
Maybe the best thing that you can actually give
Those silly values we held true to our hearts
Should have stopped as soon as one's emotions start
To run away from the aspect of normality and calm
And burn into a fiery tears on one's own palm
Fighting the storm may only get you hurt or worse killed.
But it's for the small things that our lives are billed
Every day we live for a new beginning, a new tomorrow
But when we realize that that new day may never follow
Will we keep those same silly values close to us?
Pray while you can, be the best you can be
Because it's all a game of survival you see
No matter what, we will have to fight
Between the darkness and the light
There's been martyrs, saviors, saints
Cassie was one of them, kinda quaint
And now that the would has turned thoughtless
Maybe we shouldn't be so heartless
Those silly values we held true to our hearts
Should have stopped as soon as one's emotions start
To run away from the aspect of normality and calm
And burn into a fiery tears on one's own palm
Fighting the storm may only get you hurt or worse killed.
But it's for the small things that our lives are billed
Every day we live for a new beginning, a new tomorrow
But when we realize that that new day may never follow
Will we keep those same silly values close to us?
We fight for what's right in front of us
But we really should be fighting for all of us
No matter what we see, no one person is
Different from the next, no reason may be
Twisted into a lie, into a stone ball of hate
In a country that's assumed to be pretty damn great
But all I see are the same silly values
Making everyone's hearts and minds into worthless news.
