Nick Carter Lyrics

Ignorance of people purchasing diamonds and necklaces,
People buy expensive things they don't need and can barely afford, ignoring more important things.

And barely able to keep the payments up on their lessons,
People struggle financially to pay for things that may not even benefit them in the long run.

And enrolled in a class and don't know who the professor is,
People prioritize taking classes without even knowing the quality of the teacher or course material.

How low people go for the dough and make a mess of things,
People do immoral or reckless things for money, causing harm to themselves and others.

Kids are murdering other kids for the fun of it,
Some young people derive pleasure from killing their peers without considering the consequences or morality of their actions.

Instead of using their mind or their fist, they put a gun in it
Rather than resorting to nonviolent means of conflict resolution, some people immediately turn to guns and other weapons.

Wanna be a part of a clique, don't know who's running it,
People desire to belong to certain groups without understanding or considering the motives and leadership of those groups.

Tragedy on top of tragedy you know it's killing me.
Numerous tragic events happening one after another is causing emotional distress and pain.

So many people in agony, this shouldn't have to be,
The existence of so much suffering and pain in the world is unacceptable and should not be tolerated.

Too busy focusing on ourselves and not His Majesty,
People are too self-centered and distracted to prioritize a higher power or religious beliefs.

There has to be some type of change for this day and age,
The current state of the world requires change and improvement for the betterment of society as a whole.

We gotta rearrange and flip the page,
We need to rearrange our priorities and actions in order to make positive changes and progress.

Living encaged like animals and cannibals,
People are living in oppressive, inhumane conditions and resorting to desperate measures like cannibalism for survival.

Eating each other alive just to survive the nine to five,
People are willing to harm others in order to maintain their jobs and financial stability.

Every single day is trouble while we struggle and strive
Life is inherently difficult and people face constant challenges and obstacles as they work towards their goals.

Peace of mind's so hard to find
It's difficult to find inner peace and contentment in a world full of turmoil and chaos.

CHORUS
Expression of frustration and desire for change.

Problems, complications and accusations
People face problems, conflicts, and accusations on a regular basis.

Dividing the nations and races of empty faces
Divisions between countries and races are causing people to feel empty and disconnected.

A war is taking place.
There is literal war happening in the world.

No substitution for restitution, the only solution for peace
The only way to achieve peace is to make amends for wrongs and injustices committed.

Is increasing the height of your spirituality.
Spirituality can provide a means for personal growth and inner peace.

Masses of minds are shrouded, clouded visions
Many people are struggling with confusion and unclear thinking.

Deceptions and indecision, no faith or religion, how we're living.
People are living in a state of dishonesty, indecision, and without any strong religious or spiritual beliefs.

The clock is ticking, the end is coming, there'll be no warning,
Time is running out and there is no guarantee of when the end may come.

But will we live to see the dawn.
It's unclear if people will live long enough to see a brighter future.

How can we preach, when all we make this world to be
It's difficult to promote moral and ethical behavior when the world is characterized by negativity and chaos.

Is a living hell torturing our minds.
The world can feel like a literal hell, causing mental anguish and emotional pain.

We all must unite, to turn darkness to light,
In order to create positive change, people must work together and contribute to a brighter future.

And the love in our hearts will shine.
When people embrace love, kindness, and empathy, positivity and goodness will manifest itself in the world.

We're disconnected from love, we're disrespecting each other
People often lack love and respect for one another, causing a sense of disconnection and isolation.

Whatever happened to protecting each other
People should prioritize protecting and supporting one another, rather than causing harm or indifference.

Poisoned your body and your soul for a minute of pleasure,
People engage in harmful behaviors for temporary satisfaction or pleasure, often to the detriment of their health and wellbeing.

But the damage that you've done is gonna last forever.
The negative consequences of harmful choices or actions can have long-lasting effects and impact future generations.

Babies being born in the world already drug addicted and afflicted,
Newborns are being born into the world with addiction and afflictions, often due to their parents' actions and choices.

Family values are contradicted.
Values surrounding family and community are often disregarded or contradicted.

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, the pressure is building and I've had enough.
People are feeling overwhelmed and burdened by the difficulties of life.

CHORUS out
Expression of frustration and desire for change, reiterated to reinforce the message.
