State Of The World Address

(Album: State Of The World Address - 1994)

It's the State of the World Address, motherfuckers!

Just look at the state we're in
People at odds, there's nuclear fission
Mad beef with technology
Shit ain't right, not like it used to be
We pollute the air we breathe
And the water that we drink
Modern tempers rage and seethe
Why don't we stop and think?

At the current rate we're sealing our fate
It's much too late for a world based on hate
We've entered the time of quarrel
Human beings can't co-exist
No more respect for morals
Our values have been dismissed!

It starts in vicious circles and then it filters down
From governments to local gangs
Confrontation all around
State of panic we hang by a thread
A safer world when we're all dead
Call me pessimistic, an empty glass
A nuclear society after the blast

At the current rate we're sealing our fate
It's much too late for a world based on hate
We've entered the time of quarrel
Human beings can't co-exist
No more respect for morals
Our values have been dismissed!

Fear spawns greed and see what it brings
A world where no one enjoys the small things
Happiness comes from these and within
But we're never gonna find it if we're boiling in sin
