Array ( [sid] => 59312 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => We Shouldn't Be Alive [time] => 2004-08-08 00:39:54 [hometext] => Wrote it when i was mad...not really in a general way...just mad at certain things i've noticed we humans do [bodytext] => We take what we don't need
And we fight for more war
We aren't peaceful people
And we disown the poor
Rich, ugly snobs
Who use money as faith
We have millions of gods
But no one has faith

We shouldn't be alive

Politicians cover up
The truth with rabid lies
Politicians are white and rich
Now, God, I wonder why
Tell me I ain't good enough
For your stupid, pointless job
Cuz my hair is green, my pants are ripped
And I'm not a common slob

We shouldn't be alive

We have but disregard
For our neighbors and friends
We pray and we hope
That their poor life will end
We laugh at the old folk
And mentally ill
No one struggles for peace
But, by God, I will

We shouldn't be alive

Now your secret is out
And they're coming for me
I don't blame the media
I blame society
The human race is living
For no purpose
We shouldn't kill, hurt, die
Lie, or exist

very strong write. i believe the same things that humans shouldnt be alive but for different reasons. yours are all so true but i look at it from this point of view: humans kill everything for themselves to live, ignorance and blind faith is a killer, humans are just plain too stupid to live at all, and humans never will justify their existence since they dont help it; they kill it. they are even killing themselves every way possible from natural on up. karma is a wonderful thing. great write btw =]

I lot you wrote I agree with that
we deserve to die
we are wrecking what God intended
but our God is good
he lets US make a choice
but if we listened to Him and Honour Him
we would ALL be better humans
...not living by human nature
but by Gods Nature
A brilliant write
more should read this
cheers!~
