Cold Hard World
All around the globe, seems it’s turning to s**t
Ignorance is NOT bliss, not one bit
Scenes of devastation play themselves out on the news
Makes one turn the set off; it gives you the blues
You watch for a couple hours, then look for a ladder and some rope
For something that makes sense you frantically grope
If you believe the media, the end’s coming fast
All the evil is set in stone; the dye has been cast,
And they’ll tell us all about it, after this commercial break,
For money still makes the world go around; they make
You sit through a bunch of commercials before you learn what’s going on
You’ve got to read between the lines to find out what’s fact, and what’s con
Seemingly 3/4 of every hour is an ad for something
Politics, U.S. News, World News, over and over, bad news is king
The Depression Crawler keeps on creeping by your bloodshot eyes
It’s mind-numbing revolving door seems to hypnotize
