Darker Tomorrow

As the cold sun sets into the ocean, the city turns to night
Fortunate people of one sort
Drive home from their jobs into the safety of their suburbs
A curtain of ignorance is drawn
Allowing you to see only what pleases your eyes
But I'm painting you a picture
Painting you a picture aren't I
But it's not a pretty picture
Just begins our story
I lift my hands into the sky and question why

Look around and tell me you have it bad without feeling guilty
While you sit in front of your TV
People freeze in the city
Ungrateful words from your mouth make me sick
It doesn't seem right
I lift my hands up to the sky and question why

Now morning has broke
A new day has formed
Hope for a brighter tomorrow is dreamt, but only for some
Look at your life, and tell me it's that bad
Surely not yours and mine

And I ask why must you take more than you need
When there's hungry mouths to feed
Think of the disabled, ones born retarded
Is it their fault they are in this state
You've taken life so far for granted
Give thanks and appreciate
You didn't earn shit on your own

Simply born into prosperity
Isolate yourself from reality
Well the sad truth is not all of us are going to make it alive to see tomorrow

Look around and tell me you have it bad without feeling guilty
While you sit in front of your TV
People freeze in the city
Ungrateful words from your mouth make me sick
It doesn't seem right
I lift my hands up to the sky and question why
