Racism In The City
In a dark subway a black man stands alone
Trying to earn a dime playing his saxophone
To get his bread and water having to make it on his own
While a white man makes it rich by being his clone
While laying half dead on her knees
Is a poor homeless Chinese
While men of the New World can do as they please
Ripping the Old World land with ease
And a down and out Jew trying to find some peace in it all
As he watches society fall
Seeing the discrimination put upon him and the others down the car hall
As a white Christian man makes the call
And out in the cold street pushing a cart
Is an Arab with a saddened heart
As the ignorant break him away part by part
And the power hungry American makes millions in his super mart
Because the suits get the higher pay
And for the rest, the sky of the Land of the Free will always be gray

Modern World Blues
It seems today that it's too hard to even try
It all seems that we should lie down to die
Whatever happened to what was good
What makes it so hard to do what we should
I can't even recall what was the date
When I realized this world had all this hate
Now all we get is bad news
Is all part of the modern world blues
What had ever happened to the good old days
It was so long ago it feels like a haze
But yet I still know it existed one day
And I sure hope it comes back to me some way
Every day you wake up by your breakfast time
You turn on your tv to see the daily crime
And have you ever felt it was a shame
That to so many life was just a game
Well they say life was always this way
They don't remember that golden day
You go to work and you find out how sick people are
Don't you wish you' hide from the world into someplace far
What had ever happened to the good old days
It was so long ago it feels like a haze
But yet I still know it existed one day
And I sure hope it comes back to me some way
By the time you get home you feel like you just shouldn't care
Sometimes you wonder if the world has a hope or a prayer
And all the more you care the more you worry
About how every thing is suppose to be
Now it is approaching night fall
And what was that day worth at all
You then cry to sleep in your bed
While the sin is stuck in your head
What had ever happened to the good old days
It was so long ago it feels like a haze
But yet I still know it existed one day
And I sure hope it comes back to me some way

Goodbye To Cruelty
It's time to finally say goodbye to cruelty
It's time to finally set us free
Cruelty has made so many leave this world too frequently
It's time to stop cruelty from making insanity
It's time to change before it's too late
We must work to stop the injustice and hate
To change the world's final fate
Or else we will have destroyed all that was created
