The Route of Evil

by FireFly - Libra

In calamities attack, the melted faces of the world-
Bleed into one color-
They raise they’re weapons in defiance, to a cause-
That had no meaning-

It was chaos’s time-
Roll up in pimp’n cars-
And roll the dice-
Lobby the world for they’re million dollars-
Always asking for free hand outs-
Before knowing the price-

If you stepped up to the plate, and held your head up high-
The world learned to never ask why-
Just as long as you looked good-
Your spirituality was fast food-
With spin-doctors behind the scene-
You’re violent turmoil looks good on the Hollywood Screen-
Or sells a lot of CD’s-

Whatever the agenda-
The information is funneled through so many sources-
And there’s no period to the end of their sentences-
If you got caught fucking-
Make millions on it-
If you sold Crack and Jacked cars-
Write songs, and fame will legalize the illegal ownings-

Everybody is staring through new century lenses-
Focus on the cold cash-
It’s so green, the route of all evil-
Is LA to Washington-
And the world over-

Is there light at the end of the tunnel-
Or is that a train coming-
