I look at all the angry faces
Sad and gloomy, down and wasted
Trying to smile through their eyes pasted
On like saucers through their paces
Looking down at Nike feet
Made by kids with nowt to eat
But crumbs dropped from the masters table
Welcome to the life you lead
This is the world that you live in
This is the life you've been given
This is all you've come to know
Can you love or did you lose ya soul
Noble sentiments and graces
Replaced by ho's, guns, drugs and chasers
Sisters dead inside and dumb
Treated like they're just for fun
And nothing matters
Good people scatter
Leave this hole inside its darkness
Seek the Lord and get out sharpish
Hollow eyes telling more lies
On your TV as the world dies
From war, pain and corporate crime
From this shifting paradigm
We are all each paying the cost
Responsible for our great loss
Of this world gifted to us
As the Lord's blessing and love
This is the world that you live in
This is the life you've been given
This is all you've come to know
Can you love or did you lose ya soul
Did you lose your soul?
And did the Lord come running
To help you out of this war
And I've been waiting for you to return
And I pray to you my Lord
Every night and I wait for your call
Now outweighs the good
Glutton eats while there's no food
To feed dying kids and the poor
People still seeking a cure
From the ills that blight this earth
Put innocents inside the dirt
Smile on those out seeking work
To feed the ones that they love
So I personally make a choice
To tell the truth and raise my voice
Above his evil masters noise
Ordering the girls and boys
To fight on with faith in love
Given to us from God above
Fight these wars of spirit and mind
Let peace land gently like a dove
This is the world that you live in
This is the life you've been given
This is all you've come to know
Can you love or did you lose ya soul
This is the world that you live in
This is the life you've been given
This is all you've come to know
Can you love or did you lose ya soul
