so far down the wrong path

what world do you live in?
a world of hate and greed?
or a world of love and need?
all around my home
the disillusioned roam
and all around my work
professional people shirk
from asking why they live a lie....

and whenever i try to play
i'm told i'm going about it
the wrong way!

what world do you dream of?
a world of underlings
or a world that pleasure brings?
all around the place
greed invades the space
and all around this town
fucked up people get me down

and whenever i try to speak
i'm told to turn
the other cheek!
