Chains

All the great themes have been used up
and turned into theme parks.
There is nothing to look forward to
and no one to look up to.
Too many followers, not enough leaders,
no one has the guts to step out on their
own and be an original.
Too busy mimicking the trends on MTV.
Everything decent has been done,
the revolution has hit a road block,
it;s been sold out by substitute teachers,
and uncle toms.
Human condition, rights and wrongs corrupted
heart divided from the truth,
we don't practice what we preach.
The blind leading the blind,
too many kids raising kids,
man what happened to big mama?
Modern day trickery is all that is taught
morals corrupted counterfit cure.
Desperate moments become ordinary days,
truth casts no shadow, everything is polluted.
Negative imagery holding us down
ignorance has become our new chains,
our new system of bondage, the new slave trade.
Knowledge is our power, words are the tools that
separate us from the fools.
The message has been lost,
the condition of our youth has become a mind field.
The pursuit of happiness has become strange fruit,
you only get to be happy if the price is right.
Everything is on hold
where is the voice that cuts through the darkness?
Where is the love?
We need to brake the chains
how we gonna make a change?
