WHO ARE WE 

WE ARE THE BABY WHO CRIES
WHEN WE ARE BORN
WE ARE THE OLD PERSON
WHO DIES AND THEY MOURN

WE ARE THE PUPILS
WHO GO TO SCHOOL TO LEARN
WE ARE THE TEACHERS
READY TO TAKE OUR TURN

WE ARE THE SHORT
WE ARE THE TALL
WEARE THE BIG
WE ARE THE SMALL

WE ARE THE HAPPY
WE ARE THE SAD
WE ARE THE SENSIBLE
WE ARE THE MAD

WE ARE THE WORKERS
WHO HAVE TO EARN OUR CRUST
WE ARE THE EMPLOYERS
WHO MUST SUCCEED OR BUST

WE ARE THE SILENT ONES
WHO THINK BUT NEVER SPEAK
WE ARE THE NOISY ONES
WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE MEEK

WE ARE THE POOR
WHO STRUGGLE TO MAKE ENDS MEET
WE ARE THE WEALTHY
WHO HAVE THE WORLD AT OUR FEET

WE ARE THE WEAK
WHO SUFFER EVERY DAY
WE ARE THE STRONG
AND NO-ONE GETS IN OUR WAY

WE ARE THE LONELY
WITH NO-ONE TO TURN TO
WE ARE THE POPULAR
WITH FRIENDS WE NEVER KNEW

WE ARE THE DESPERATE
WHO HAVE TO BEG OR STEAL
WE ARE THE THRIFTY
WHOSE LIVES REMAIN UNREAL

WE ARE THE RIGHTEOUS
WHO BELIEVE THERE IS A GOD
WE ARE THE ATHEISTS
WHO COULDN’T GIVE A SOD

WE ARE THE SHEEP
WHO FOLLOW FAR BEHIND
WE ARE THE LEADERS
WHO CONTROL THEM WITH OUR MIND

WE KNOW WHO WE ARE
WHEREVER WE MAY BE
WE’RE BORN,WE LIVE,WE DIE
NO MATTER WHO ARE WE






WHERE WOULD YOU RATHER BE ?

WOULD YOU RATHER BE IN ENGLAND
WHERE THE LAND IS OH SO GREEN
SCOTLAND,WALES OR IRELAND TOO
AND THE ISLANDS AROUND AND BETWEEN

OR WOULD YOU PREFER CONTINENTAL EUROPE
FRANCE,GERMANY,ITALY OR GREECE
PERHAPS SPAIN,PORTUGAL OR AN ISLAND IN THE MED
SCANDINAVIA MIGHT BE COLD IF YOU PLEASE

WOULD YOU RATHER BE IN THE USA
WITH OVER FIFTY STATES TO CHOOSE
AS WEST AS CALIFORNIA OR AS EAST AS FLORIDA
A COUNTRY THAT’S ALWAYS IN THE NEWS

HOW ABOUT AUSTRALIA OR NEW ZEALAND
OR ARE THEY REALLY TOO FAR AWAY
MAYBE THE MYSTERY OF RUSSIA,ASIA AND THE FAR EAST
THOUGH WOULD YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY SAY

THE MIDDLE EAST OR AFRICA ARE SURELY FAR TOO HOT
WHERE THE SCORCHING SUN IS THERE TO STAY
AND THE ISLANDS OF THE ATLANTIC OR PACIFIC
FAR FROM THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF LIFE EVERYDAY

OUR PLANET HAS SO MUCH VARIETY AND IT REALLY IS FATE
AS TO WHERE WE ARE BORN AND WHAT WE’LL SEE
BUT IF YOU REALLY HAD THE CHOICE TO DECIDE
WHERE WOULD YOU RATHER BE ?






SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENTS

SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENTS, RAN THE HEADLINE
WE ARE IN THE 21ST CENTURY, AND, NOTHING HAS CHANGED
LIFE ,ALTHOUGH PRECIOUS ,CAN BE MEANINGLESS FOR SOME
ESPECIALLY ANY FANATICS, AND ,ANYONE DERANGED

BC  USED TO STAND FOR  BEFORE CHRIST
THOUGH  BEFORE COMPUTERS SEEMS MORE APPROPRIATE NOW
MANY HAVE TURNED THEIR BACKS ON TRUE RELIGION
HOW IS MANKIND SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE SOMEHOW

MIND-CONTROL IS THERE FOR ALL TO SEE
NO-ONE IS SAFE WHETHER THEY ARE YOUNG OR OLD
CHAOS AND DESTRUCTION ALL OVER THE WORLD
HOW CAN MENS’ HEARTS REMAIN SO COLD

IT’S A NO-WIN SITUATION WHICH HAS NO END
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE WHETHER WE SUFFER OR JUST DIE
TYRANNY,REVENGE OR INSANITY ALL THE SAME
MAN WILL NEVER CHANGE OR EVEN TRY

THE SUFFERING GOES ON AMIDST ALL THE TEARS
WHY DO WE HAVE TO ENDURE THIS LIFE OF SHAME
CHILDREN POISONED BY THOSE INTENT ON THEIR CONTROL
IF ONLY IT WERE JUST A GAME

WIND TIME FORWARD A THOUSAND YEARS
DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE IT WILL BE ANY DIFFERENT
JUST AS IT WASN’T TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO
WE NEED MORE THAN JUST A MAN WHO WAS HEAVEN-SENT
