A Lunatic Asylum

The world gets madder day by day
I think it helps to be a little insane
as there's wars and conflicts everywhere
how much longer can people stand the strain?
Some parts of towns are no go areas
so don't go there in the day or night
and watch out for gangs of hoodies
as they are roaming around wanting a fight.
Druggies are breaking into peoples houses
just to get money to buy more and more gear
while the elderly hope they don't become victims
as they sit in their homes full of anxiety and fear.
Psychos are on our streets shooting someone dead
but to them killing is just a game or a sport
they neither worry or care at the misery they cause
and they revel in the limelight when they get caught.
They spend billions on trips to the Moon and Mars
in the hope they find life all the way up there
but we know that the only life form is down here
where we get diseases, grow old, and get Grey hair.
So welcome to the great big lunatic asylum
where we spend our days as time passes by
but I'd like to ask who put us all here
one simple question and that is WHY?
