The Truth of Today
Yesterday I walked through the city centre
I heard a singer singing in a shop
and I just had to enter.
I stood
I listened
it was a song from the charts
it was another reminder
musics been ruined by these pop stars
it was a reminder of what we've become
because there are so many singers in this world
they're all competing
they're on shows like x factor trying to be heard
it makes me so angry
it hurts
I've seen days when it feels like nothing works
I've seen whats under the make up of these naive girls.
I've seen.
I see,
I see why you have to hide
you were young and you had dreams
you say you never made them
but in truth you never tried
you were polluted by the town and never got off the rollercoaster ride.
Until you fell
you fell into reality
you can't get out of the crowded city
yesterday you spectated
but when I left you couldnt come with me.
