Blind World lyrics

What is the world coming to?
The way I feel about my life right now is as if I don�t
Do something quick that I might end up sick or 
homicidal
Appreciate the blessings lingering in my bravado
Administrate the lessons I�m singing in my recital
Give it another title, call it the daily bread
A special formula you fix to get the baby fed
Its brain food the kind they ooze into a baby�s head
So he won�t be misled and when the baby�s dead
Bury him where they buried Terry cause to grow a tree 
up
They cutting down the rainforest looking for space to 
free up
And paving paradise with parking lots where buildings 
be up
What is the world coming to? It�s really messing me up
I got a brand new nephew in about a year,
His lungs will be older than he his from the cloudy air
Not saying cloudy like the molecules of H20
I�m talking bout the factories and fumes whatever you 
know
And every time I�m driving I�m thinking I�m such a culo
My contribution of pollution isn�t very cool though
But what am I to do though? I got to work to live
And if I happen to be living where my working is
Then will I ever learn to suffer through it for my kids
One day I�ll have a baby but first I need a lady
And will I give her all my time and will she really 
love me
And will she give me shelter when the storms are up 
above me
I know sometimes it be my personality is ugly
And no amount of make up can make up for that
But know I recognize the game and when I�m up to bat
I�m gonna put a little change into the thinking cap
Because to change the world you gotta change your mind
We can�t go on living wrong inside of the same design
It gotta be that you and me agree to make a difference
Put up a canvas and manipulate the color pigments
To paint a portrait of tomorrow full of broader 
figments
In your imagination could you imagine nations?
Have peace and harmony instead of genocidal warring
Where borders don�t exist and nobody�s considered 
foreign
Mother Earth is respected animals are protected
Society perfected Capitalism rejected
What is the world coming to? Almost the end of us
And it�s the evils in the world today we tend to trust
How could let the ashes crumble till they come to dust
I guess that�s what is meant to happen if you�re blind 
enough
If you ready for what is coming then come on with me 
Follow my voice if you can hear it let the song lift me
Into the graces of Heaven�s hugs
To learn love�s embrace and share with every beautiful 
face
I place my right hand on my heart and say let me be the 
start
I pound my fist on my chest and request allow me to be 
the test
And when I�m at my best I can make a Catholic priest 
confess
Cause guilt is worse than the parasite in his flesh
And the flesh is weak but the pride is strong
And it can make a little lie last a little bit longer 
than
It was ever intended by whoever intended to send it
Watch the evil manifest that it rendered
And I hope you remembered your place in this
Look up at a shooting star go head and make a wish
Hopefully it will be granted by the gods
Against all odds you�ll be wise enough to see through 
the facades
What is the world coming to? I wish I had an answer
Better than seeing human beings as a living cancer
Better than being what I�m seeing hope I Have a chance 
to
Raise the consciousness Peace Ya�ll and god bless the 
Blind World
