The world is a wicked place

That's a truth I say to my face.

You have to say goodbye to your dreams, 

in fear of disgrace.

You have to face mental agony ,

because of your colour or your race.

What's the point of living this wretched life,

with all your internal strife?

You want to live your life as you want, 

but, oh wait, you can't.

Get a good job,

join the monotonous mob.

People saty put even in suffering

While we change a video for a second of buffering.

Women, here and there, are harmed.

If this is the good life,

I'll be darned.

This is a world where everyone takes everyone at face value.

You have too, haven't you?

The world is a wicked place

That's a truth I say to my face.
