Surrounded by Pain

Everywhere you look, nothing but pain
Every stare you took, fall into rain
Everywhere the sorrow follows, no matter your name
Fall in line like hollow men that do claim
That it's no crime to follow recklessly
To obey every order with intensity
To go lay down your life for your country
And hope that the next takes out the enemy
Your family back home, they open the door
Your wife she had known, even before
That when you left home you wouldn't be back no more
There's always finna be another war
Your son grows up, without a father
Some do really suck, so why bother?
This lil' boy just wants a grown up for starters
Now that his mama been drinking, can't stop her
When he's eighteen, he wants to follow his Dad
That's his dream, die in duty, he'd be glad
Another clean soul lost to the demand
Of a fucked up world, it makes me sad
Them corporations at the fucking top
They be basting the world non-stop
Making sure the turkey's firm and juicy
Making sure new people pop up like a crop
So they keep the masses really happy
Distract them classes and sparkly
Wine to get them drunk and ranty
To make 'em think they thunk up a shanty
Idea or ideal, no matter what you kneel
You write with a quill but you do not squeal
You are afraid to spill what is real
So you stayed behind a grill while you sharpened steel
That you ain't gonna use to fight no one
You are too much of a compliant one
But bitch I am the defiant one
I sharpen my words and use an idiom
While you say "yes, sir" and follow, yes you dumb
You think the answers, lie with the one
Giving the orders, lemme just stun
He's receiving them from some other one

No matter what you do
No matter what you say
There's always someone who
Will have the last say
No matter what you do
No matter what you say
There's always some to loose
Down this pathway

All this pain around me makes me sorry
It makes me insane, makes me worry
That the life we live, we ain't really worthy
Because we do not give, we just take in a hurry
Well some do live to server something
An army, corporation that do not bring
Satisfaction to any fat being
Gross inflation, the top have all the bling
You take what you can so you can feed your family
You make a new man who can heed you happily
But you livin' month to month, you sit down angrily
Why live with a son if you fall into travesty?
He begins to resent his little offspring
Beat him up, beat him down, clip off his wing
Secrete with no relent, pain, hate, stench
Creating a mental down who's steaming with resent
It seems like anything anyone does
Makes many ones be needing some hugs
"Save me from the pain, give me some drugs"
He craves a distraction like everyone does
Wrong action, wrong answer to the pain
In-action the path to becomin' grain
I'm just tryna be the one who ingrains
In you the truth behind this lowly plain

No matter what you do
No matter what you say
There's always someone who
Will have the last say
No matter what you do
No matter what you say
There's always some to loose
Down this pathway

No matter what you do
No matter what you say
There's always someone who
Will have the last say
No matter what you do
No matter what you say
There's always some to loose
Down this pathway
