Man Versus Man
I'm sick to death of death!
It's all you tend to hear at my age...
In an uncertain angry planet
It seems everyone is filled with rage.
I'm sick to death of life!
It's not as kind as it once was...
Fragrant smells no longer linger
Everyone answers with "Just Because"
No focus, no direction, no incentive
No motivation in the lives of the youths
Instead they shuffle like a pig in it's trough
Feeding on unspoken truths.
I'm sick to death of this world
It's cruel with an uncontrollable tongue
Many people all pushing and shoving
All with a song to be sung...
I'm sick to death of this madness
Man bombing man for no reason
Innocent lives being destroyed daily
Whilst MP's get away with treason?
No empathy, no compassion, no trust
No willingness to make a change
Simply a desire to knock each other down
Man targeting man in the firing range.
How did we get to this place?
Why do we not seem to care?
Man being knocked down and beaten
Whilst bypassers just stop and stare...
Edinburgh is dying before my eyes
It's riddled with pilgrims of hate
They worship the loathing of their fellow man
Walking around angry and irrate
I'm sick to death of my hometown
It's squaller tucked away in the crevices
City centre life is fake
Suburban lives are in peices.
Night time belongs to the unruly
Shouting and screaming for no reason
Except for the abusive lives they have
Fuelled with booze drugs and the hunting season.
Get me away from my hometown
My heritage fills me with shame
And it's all down to my fellow man
There's no one but us we can blame!
