double standards

I scream about injustice as I cheated you out of love
I bitch about violence as I turn to you to shove
I say life isnt' fair as people are losing theirs
I bitch about pollution as the exhaust fumes from my car fill the air
double standards and blind ignorance are all around
and I am even guilty of these crimes I have found
why are people the way that they are?
why in order to love, we must leave scars?
is life really supposed to be a great big battle field?
or are we here to find wounds to heal?
does anyone have the answers to these things that we wonder?
or are they there for us to see among the rain and the thunder?
does God look down on us and laugh at our materialistic lives?
or have we gotten so bad that now he just cries?
do angels whisper the meaning of life into our dense ears?
and we're too worried about money and social standings to hear?
everyday people lose their shallow lives in vain
never finding answers and always in pain
why does everyone settle for living this way?
I swear, at least for me, I'm going to change it all one day
