Hello my friend.

Hello my friend do come in
this is the world and it looks like a bin
where the everyman loses
and the dickheads win
where people take what isnt theres
like money and life without a care
religion has destroyed most of the globe
and the buisness man sits in his silken robe
counting his dirty great piles of cash
as the third worlds stomach turns to ash
nuclear bombs can wipe out nations
terrorists plant bombs in stations
ever increasing rates of inflation
being part of the binge generation
9 year long illegal war
reality tv is such a bore
guns and knives outside your door
the whole world gripped in a giant class war
whats that my friend, youll try somewhere else instead
not because of somethng i said?

Hi Jake, yep, I can hear this as a song, it's a harsh write & shows the down side of life, but as Anna says, well penned. I look forward to seeing what else glitters in you here.
