A Broken Nation
People say use your Manors,
But many people don’t.
People say be nice to others,
Even the ones who won’t.
People say keep Calm, don't stress,
Then throw things in your face.
People say just Relax,
When there’s no Breathing in this place.
People say be Confident,
And then they tear you down.
Kick you on your knees,
And tell you not to frown.
People say act okay,
As far as they can see…
Be Yourself they tell you.
Then you’re judged by society.
People say be Happy,
Don’t let your dreams run thin.
But yell at you when you Daydream,
Wake you up when you’re about to Win.
See that’s how this nation works.
You have to Learn the scheme…
Not trusting anyone,
But acting as a team.
