A world obscene
Is this what they get from us?
Where wrong is right
And right is wrong
Ever since the lines got blurred
And our cosmic speech became slurred
A world obscene
Is that what we’re leaving them?
Can we fix it?
Do we dare try?
Do we even want to?
Or are we too busy passing the collection plate
Hoping against hope
Religion wins their precious souls
We must step up!
Own what we’ve done
Let’s begin by admitting we didn’t care
As much as we were supposed to
Let’s create for them a new scene
I beg of you
Let’s not leave them a world undone
Let’s not leave them a world obscene.
