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
