------An Outside View------



Music = Peanuts Theme



The world is changing more every day
and I'm just dragging behind
Today's train of thought has left the station
and its tracks don't parallel mine

I'm stuck somehow in a bad situation, 
was I born a little too late
I  don't comprehend societies acceptance
of things that don't merit debate

The apathy level increases each year,
will mankind soon go to pot
Was respect and honor I learned as a kid
an education in meaningless rot

One of my hopes was to live to a hundred
and see how much we evolved
But if I don't awake to another tomorrow
at least  "my" disillusion is solved
