You Think It's A Joke
Goldfinger · Stomping Ground
You think it's a joke to take advantage of the life that supports you
You push and push
Supress the weaker ones
Confined to words
With emotions you are numb
You think the world revolves around the things you buy
I think of loneliness that you will die
I want to defend defenseless let the meek inherit the Earth
But your intelligence gives you nothing to mask your ignorance
And if tehre's a god above to judge what's right and wrong
Your callous attitude will soon be gone
You think the world revolves around the things you buy
I think of loneliness that you will die
