I see the bad state the world's in <br />there's corruption all around <br /> <br />I see the evils in business <br />the greed in profit <br /> <br />I see the pollution that we cause <br /> <br />This world's at war <br /> <br />yet <br />I want no part... <br /> <br />I see the papers brainwashing <br />the workers <br />The media hypnotizing <br />the viewers <br /> <br />I see politicians talking <br />big words <br />and people <br />believing <br /> <br />These crazy consumer people <br />buying products beyond their means! <br /> <br />Zombies in the shops <br />annoying commercials on the box <br />and giant billboards <br />I can't miss <br /> <br />Is this what life is? <br /> <br />it's a fake fake world <br />full of lies lies <br /> <br />I see the homeless <br />walking the street <br /> <br />and the crime on TV <br /> <br />I see the old <br />telling the young <br />this is <br />how life <br />should be... <br /> <br />But this is the way we live <br /> <br />it's the only way we know <br /> <br />and I want no part... <br /> <br />I contemplate God <br />I think of the devil <br /> <br />The clock keeps ticking <br /> <br />My cigarette keeps burning <br /> <br />The pints keep pouring <br /> <br />and <br />I just <br />keep <br />watching <br /> <br />because <br /> <br />after all <br /> <br />I'm young and what do I know?<br /><br />Nathan Strange<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-young-what-do-i-know/
