The day I lost my innocence
was the day I started living
It’s what they call the REAL world
with political longitudes
and economic latitudes
Where culture is bought and sold
in trendy stores
And art is only for those who
can’t understand it
but have the money to buy it
Where beauty is measured
by magazine covers
And intelligence means
how much money you can make in a month
Where poverty is a dirty word
that no one wants to hear
And single mothers on welfare
are just lazy bitches
Where the car you drive
defines you
And you personality consists
of designer clothes and brand-name shoes
Where everything has a price
even human life
And collateral damage just means
you killed more civilians than you expected
THIS is the real World,
The world we live in – THE world…
The world can go fuck itself!
