Right and Wrong
There is the place in the human heart
Where justice and vengeance reign supreme,
When nothing can quell the injustice done,
You really just want to see them pay
You want to know that they have been
held accountable for their sin and transgression
And your gut feelings of revenge
see this anger as a "righteous anger"
because a wrong has been done,
and destroying that person will make it right!
The Golden Rule does not apply here,
instead, it's a misunderstood "Eye for an Eye"
Concepts taken out of context,
and only your Need to be Right matters
I am RIGHT! And They Are WRONG!
We must punish these wicked beings,
unless it all gets out of control,
And we let the demons run amuck,
taking what they will, destroying what they desire.
This must be STOPPED! Here and now!
They must be made to pay for what they have done!
Looking for the Instant Karma Police?
Well, they're Right Here!
Don't Mess with us, or you'll get squashed!
Yet this place is only the baser animal mind,
Fight or flight, survival of the fittest, always hoping to adapt
There is something more to the human soul
Something bright and pure,
That shines with the light of a thousand stars
We are not just Animals, We Are Human Beings!
I have care and mercy in my heart too,
I have forgiveness, and forgetness in my heart as well
I have a great big pile of Who Cares?,
Pockets full of Whatevers
and a big bag of Who Gives a Fuck?
This is not to promote apathy, by any means.
Caring is very important for what really matters
But more important than holding on,
is knowing when to let go,
and these Whatevers are a coping mechanism
for a heart that cares too much,
a heart that refuses to be broken,
and a mind refuses to be controlled,
by anger or any other animalistic emotion.
So, say Fuck you to them, say fuck you to yourself,
Or just say, Who Gives a Fuck?
All we got is this life, and love it or leave it
Where justice and vengeance reign supreme,
When nothing can quell the injustice done,
You really just want to see them pay
You want to know that they have been
held accountable for their sin and transgression
And your gut feelings of revenge
see this anger as a "righteous anger"
because a wrong has been done,
and destroying that person will make it right!
