Right is mistaken for wrong
And every fiber of morality seems to be gone
There is no respect for human life,
People will take your life without thinking twice
Everyone wants a solution
For moral pollution
But no one wants to take responsibility
For our lack of morality
What used to matter doesn't matter any more
Everyone wants an easy score
Let the stones fall where they may
All we can do is pray
There is no other way
We can make it through the day
Family is no longer our priority
Children are running wild and free.
We are warring for oil
And killing the innocent to divide the spoils.
In foreign nations,
Disease is running rapid amid violence and mass annihilation.
Devastation and deterioration
Rule without moderation.
It's sometimes hard to understand
The heart of man
Politicians in America don't seem to care
About the nation's welfare.
Republicans and Democrats
Are in full scale attack.
Blame for every mistake is being placed on the Presidents back
Simply because he's black.
They are trying to revoke
The right to vote
On the down low
While saying it ain't so.
They'd rather see the nation burn
Than see a black President serve another term
Today corruption is confused with justice
Right is mistaken for wrong
And every fiber of morality seems to be gone
Let the stones fall where they may
All we can do is pray
There is no other way
We can make it through the day.
