Conversations With The MInd - Makes the World Go Down

The world we live in is painfully obvious  
Where women are put mainstream and flaunted  
And we won't look under the bed, its still haunted  
Where we put a lock on the closet  
Hoping no more people come out of it..  
People have the right to be and to see  
To live, to lose, to love, to choose  
When someone rises up to be free  
Attacking the powers that hold us back  
You see them the next day in the obituary  
Photo shown and someones child is no more  
Holding back power, it's like everyday we find a new war  
The fucking president will be the stupidest of all  
We witness the rise and fall of stupidity  
Creating the epidemy of the fucking thing we call "lifestyle"  
The rich and the famous sit happily and blame us  
While we rebel in the streets, the world can't tame us  
Or change us, they already portray us in the media  
as the new idea and a way to make whats not funny, funny  
and ride off our success just to make money  
We are the everyday people walking and cleaning the streets  
Give us back our right to be happy and take back the worst  
Take back the money we need that doesn't allow happiness to be first  
I just want to live in a world not ruled by idiots and cash  
We'll take over the world and go our own paths  
Just let us be...we all can't afford to be happy..
