Common Sense and Consequence

 
Maybe the whole lot of you didn’t really think this through
You thought you would have some fun storming the castle
This is isn’t a movie, what did you think would ensue?
Now the repercussions are going to be a real hassle

So you went on the offense riled up acting all intense
It’s just that bird brains don’t have critical thinking skills
There’s a consequence when you lack the common sense
This revolutionary talk was giving you some cheap thrills

You were conned into doing someone else’s dirty work
Yet still you defend it or are simply too stupid to see it
Act like a know it all but everyone else sees you as a jerk
It’s true, then again, you’ll never be able to perceive it

Perhaps you watched way too many movies or television
And never really thought about furthering your education
Now you rely on conspiracy theories hindering your vision
Your intellectual growth has been in long-term stagnation

Probably it was the way you were raised or lack thereof
You’ve lived in a small circle and only have one point of view
But you can’t call yourself a Christian and not have any love
When you beat someone because they’re different from you

Maybe laws and policies are to blame when they benefit the rich
When jobs are taken away the livelihood of communities suffer
The lack of family and education can leave many in the ditch
Then ignorance sets in and it gets tougher without any buffer

You’ll fuck it up and get nothing in return but get badly burned
Hopefully one day you’ll see the light and come to your senses
It’s a tough world but there are many lessons to be learned
And if you don’t, just remember you’ll suffer the consequences
