JUST LIKE A BROKEN RECORD

Just like a broken record, it will never end

We watch the spark of life descend

Start of the world, the dawn of man

Big bang or god who cares how it began

Divine or not we have our flaws

If pollution and war is the effect we are the cause

Monotony made us what we are today

Making prisons and cells that are filled everyday

We think the problem is lack of knowledge

But these criminals weren't exactly material for college

In order to get the peace and unity that we yearn

We all have to listen in order to learn

We all need to close our eyes, let no light in and think

Why the boat we are on is beginning to sink

Are we like sheep, blindly following the shepherd

Is this why the world has weathered

But no matter how many times we acknowledge the problem we can never stop

All we can do is guess which forest is up for chop

Just like a record, it will never end

Until we let go on what we all depend
