VIOLENCE
Every turn you make you are bombarded
With violence of one form or the other
It appears like this society is retarded
At the way we're killing one another
Our kids see violence every day on the TV
At home, work and at play we do it as adults
We sanction it on every commercial activity
As we smoke, drink, swear and throw insults
Where does it stop I do not know
How on earth do we get like this
I guess we're reaping what we sow
Here's something morally amiss
We have to start with the basics
We have to live by example for a start
We have to be fair, stop the tricks
We have to put the horse before the cart
Our kids take guns to schools
And teachers are beaten by thugs
They have no regard for schedules
And run around like nettles or bugs
We buy guns for our kids yet tell them to love one another
And watch violence by men chasing a puck in tights
After partying we send our friends on the road full of liquor
And watch couples pummel one another in fights
We send our loved ones to the holy sect
Then these same people abuse them
These are the same people whom we respect
But we find they have a ungodly problem
We send our wives to the physicians
To be treated medically
Supposedly by people in authority
Then they are abused sexually
Men still abuse women, Indians and Blacks
They are paid less and are not treated equally
Men still make sexual jokes behind their backs
And they still think of them as objects sexually
And in war we abuse women
Like animals we rape them like gorillas
This is the act of gallant men
Who behave worst than a pack of hyenas
We see people peddle drugs on our street
We turn our faces to avoid this curse
Because we don't want to make waves on our beat
And every day the cancer gets worse
If you spare the rod, you're mud
You bound to spoil the child, you fool
You have to nip it in the bud
What do we expect them to learn in school
The principals have to do their share
Who should accept no nonsense from any kid
Demand respect and get it without fear
And punish punks for every prank they did
They should empty the lockers of the unfit
Of their cargo of guns, knives, porno and drugs
Ban them and expose every culprit
Until they cease to be in gangs or to be thugs
Parents should stop and think
That their kids are angels
Because actually they stink
Some are really devils
No wonder America is in such a mess
Their schools have no discipline today
These are the future leaders a pool of cess
They go to school to pass the time away
The stench is spreading here in Canada
We should nip it in the bud before its too late
We don't want the garbage from America
If we allow only an ugly doom can be our fate
