Just Look Around

[Verse 1]
The question they keep asking me
"How can one so young be so bitter and angry?"
Well, the answer is plain to see
Maybe if they wern't so blind they'd see what I see
I see the homeless livin' out on the street
On every corner they're asking for money
I try to help them whenever I can
But sometimes I can't afford to help myself
I see diseases and modern plagues of our times
The greed of our leaders has made them blind
To our problems, they spend millions overseas
People right here are fightin' wars everyday

[Chorus 1]
I see the whites that hate the blacks
Blacks against the jews
Race against religion
And they're all too blind to see

[Verse 2]
When we fight each other it puts all of them at ease
It keeps us so busy, so they can do what they please
Election time comes and they're out for votes
That's when you see and hear from them the most
This is what they're calling a democracy
That's just another word for hypocrisy
We keep fallin' for the bait
When we realize, it's always too late

[Chorus 2]
I see the whites that hate the blacks
Blacks that hate the jews
Brother against brother
And they're all to blind to see

[Verse 3]
As the rich get richer, the poor goin' hungry
I've seen the toll it takes on the workingman's family
Education system that's obsolete
Can't hold a kid's interest or keep 'em off the street
See a father's fear, hear a mother's cry
What kind of a nation lets their children die
Government's corrupt and full of red tape
Then you're gonna ask me why I hate

[Chorus 3]
Why don't you (open up your eyes) so you can see
(Open up your ears) so you can hear
(Take a look around) and you will find
(Take a look around) and you will find out why
