People That Never Were

Look down on my world
cherish a look
on a poverty nation.
the working class slave
and work hard labour
the middle class tell em what to do
and the higher
don't do us any favour.
3rd world countries
young children dieing
waters polluted
and the population is cryin'
lookin for a way out
while i'm lookin for a way in.
Seems like we don't know much
just walking along
we see down our street
we don't see past this song.
The charities tell us to help
but what do we do
spend our money on cars
and shout out our biased view

We're hearing voices
and seeing ghosts
or maybe it's just us
maybe it's our forgotten boasts
or plans that never concur
and people that never were.

We stand alone
like the world that's turned to stone
no more blood in it
no more flesh.
humans don't exist
we're a type of monster
we make all the lists.
Who lives who dies
who's naughty or nice
I have the power
I can't lose
and it's my freedom, my duty to choose.

We're hearing voices
and seeing ghosts
or maybe it's just us
maybe it's our forgotten boasts
or plans that never concur
and people that never were.

don't hurt me
don't hurt yourself
but you can hurt everybody else.
You see it's all for oil
the wars and all the worlds spoils.
Everyone thinks
everyone knows
maybe this isn't right
maybe we're just too low
absorbed in ourselves
to notice
We're hearing voices
and seeing ghosts
or maybe it's just us
maybe it's our forgotten boasts
or plans that never concur
and people that never were.
