I try to write songs or rap, but lots of this one just doesn't rhyme - you have to read it rather than fit it into music... it won't go! It's a bit of a rant, and I only decided to type it up 'cos I'm drunk
Our thoughts create our reality,
nothing happens without thinking it first.
That means we got ourselves into this mess,
and we can make it better, or we can make it worse.
The tabloids and the Television seem to exert
an unfeasible influence in our society.
I may get flamed for saying that,
but come on, we live our lives by the headlines.
It just worries me, the lack of discussion,
when we rush into opinions, formulated by who?
Not you or me, 'cos we seem to drift,
from scandal to war, to sleaze and much more.
So until we stop hanging onto this stuff,
to wake up a little and care more for yourself,
How you can be happier in your life,
positivity in more of us will spread like a fire.
Ignore the soundbytes and the paper headlines,
just try to be more happy in yourself.
Stop being made to think in the terms
of national or international opinion.
Take back your opiniom for yourself.
Let go of these government minions,
they ignore our best interests while they sit on our millions.
It won't do you any good, the negative vibes
put out be the media, it's the seedier side of existance 2k,
but you don't have to live it their way.
You can be in the system, but not of the system.
For instance, don't be surpised if you find that the government have
been lying to us about one thing or another.
It's just another example of how they jerk us around.
Make us think that everything's sound,
while they perpetually steal our pounds.
Until the fundamental rules are changed,
that's how our peers will treat us, from the cradle to the grave.
Barring revolution you and me, we can't escape it.
It'll be hundreds of years before anyone changes it.
So don't get dragged down by it.
Happiness starts with the self.
So be more induvidual! Break from the chains,
built by low quality TV, and the economies of scale.
A more objective approach will start to heal you.
Soon you'll realise, maybe start to despise
the way we live, but don't despair 'cos
Of what I said eariler, not OF the system,
Don't be a hater, just understand better!
We live in a world of soundbytes and spin,
and that won't change in the decade we're in.
Get on the Net, or get some books,
Learn about the world, get active and look.
Don't just wait for TV to explain the world to you,
that view is slanted, and is worthless to you.
Yes, knowledge is power, and in the final hour,
Our intelligence will start to sour the hold
The tube and the papers have over us.
And as that starts to happen there will be ruckus.
Imagine, ignoring the opinions of the opinion makers, sounds good?
It ain't pie in the sky, if we really try,
We could use our minds to rise above every day trivialism,
spin doctorism, and all other sorts of jism.
(knew I'd make spelling mistakes somwhere...)
