Nathan Strange - I'm Young, What Do I Know?

I see the bad state the world's in
there's corruption all around

I see the evils in business
the greed in profit

I see the pollution that we cause

This world's at war

yet
I want no part...

I see the papers brainwashing
the workers
The media hypnotizing
the viewers

I see politicians talking
big words
and people
believing

These crazy consumer people
buying products beyond their means!

Zombies in the shops
annoying commercials on the box
and giant billboards
I can't miss

Is this what life is?

it's a fake fake world
full of lies lies

I see the homeless
walking the street

and the crime on TV

I see the old
telling the young
this is
how life
should be...

But this is the way we live

it's the only way we know

and I want no part...

I contemplate God
I think of the devil

The clock keeps ticking

My cigarette keeps burning

The pints keep pouring

and
I just
keep
watching

because

after all

I'm young and what do I know?

Nathan Strange
