Loco Jo - The World We Live In lyrics

The World we live in is very diverse, I mean yeah, there are beautiful things the World has to offer, But there are many things that simply drive me crazy and make me wanna throw up, How is it that everybody are so caught up with themselves? Instead of seeing that there is a World around them and that life is so precious, At any given moment all of this can come to an end, If this is the case, why so much of us are so caught up in the moment and the stresses of life invading our souls and tormenting our lives? People should sit back and realize, Is all of this everyday torment worth it? Come on, reflect a little bit everybody, You people are so worried and crying because your 9 to 5 job is stressing you out too much, Or "I failed my exam", So now I'm gonna be a "failure" in life, No man, there are kids around the World suffering, starving and literally dying, How evil, how the hell can a freakin World filled with economic powerhouses, Has never found a way to end this "pathetic" poverty in the World? Is it because we are so caught up in our little "Important" World and trying to become "Something"? Yea for some of us becoming "Something" is to become a millionaire, Whereas for others, " Something" equals survival, I am simply disgusted with these corrupt Governments, Simply trying to fill their own pockets, When they can help their fellow humans, Starving to d**h in countries like Sudan, Rwanda and Tanzania, I don't know what to say? I am simply disgusted with the planet I live on Chorus: Is this really the World I live in? I guess it is? Yes it's the World I live in, unfortunately it's the World I live in, The corrupt World I live in, The disgusting World I live in, The corrupt and disgusting World I live in And how about education, They say education is so important, But I mean not everyone has that opportunity to get an education, To me it seems that society and governments subtly promote education to the "Elite" or if you will those people who are relatively well off, If education was so important, Why don't those poor kids living in countries in Africa or in other parts of the world even have a chance of learning, What this shows to me is that all this world is, Is a freakin business with people filled with greed, Only willing to fill their own pockets and making their life well-off and not realizing how they would feel, If they were living in a poor country like Tanzania, Chorus: Is this really the World I live in? I guess it is? Yes it's the World I live in, Unfortunately it's the World I live in, The corrupt World I live in, The disgusting World I live in, The corrupt and disgusting World I live in To me that is the face of greed and hypocrisy staring me right in the face, Obama, Edison, Lincoln, Mandela, What are you gonna tell me? All of these guys have graduated from "Private" school? "I don't think so"! "Yea but they would probably have a better knowledge and point of view on the World had they graduated from "Private" school"? Well you know what? "I don't think so"! What I am telling you Ladies and Gentleman, Is be careful to all these institutions, Taking away your MONEY, In order to invest for their own interest, To you kids, I only got one thing to tell you, The World is a corrupted place, Where people are doing anything in their power to gain power over somebody else, With MONEY being the main source of attraction, So kids, don't fall into this societal trap, Become who you wanna become, Follow your dreams and follow your heart and your instinct, Society will tell you to do "this" and recommend you to do "that", But at the end of the day, subconsciously or not, They are doing it for their own benefit, Chorus: Is this really the World I live in? I guess it is? Yes it's the World I live in, unfortunately it's the World I live in, The corrupt World I live in, The disgusting World I live in, The corrupt and disgusting World I live in
