Think About It
Shawn Martin Lyrics

Is this all we've come for?
Have we really spent our entire lives just to end up where we are now?

Only this time in life can we ever imagine
We can only picture our lives to be like this, in this moment.

That the only things we ever remembered were the bad times?
Do we always remember the negative things that happen to us?

Can you tell me why you think all we need is love and trust?
What makes you believe that love and trust are the only things we need?

Fuck love and fuck trust
Love and trust have failed us many times.

They never do us any favors
Love and trust do not benefit us in any way.

We find that special someone and they fuck us over
The people we love and trust often hurt us the most.

Like everyone else who has ever crossed our paths
Just like anyone else we've ever encountered.

Do you want to live a life like that?
Do you really want to live a life full of disappointment?

In denial?
Are you refusing to believe the truth?

Grow up, grow balls
Stop acting childish and be courageous.

Life is just a fuck up
Life is full of mistakes and failures.

One after another, it's just a fuck up
One mistake leads to another, causing a chain of failures.

Think about it
Consider the consequences of your actions and decisions.

Don't deny what you know is true
Don't refuse to believe something you know to be true.

Because all we ever know is what we're taught
Our knowledge is limited to what we are taught by others.

We do things others do, we see things other see
We often follow the actions and beliefs of others.

And we become cocky motherfuckers acting like drones
We develop arrogant attitudes, acting like mindless machines.

Hell is what the Earth has become and I won't tolerate that shit
The world has become a terrible place, and we should not accept it.

It's kill or be killed
The world is a dangerous place and you have to fight to survive.

I guess I'll be killed
Maybe I won't make it out alive.

What gives us the right to say who lives and who dies?
Who are we to decide who lives and who dies?

Are we God? Are we Buddah?
What makes us think we have god-like powers?

Are we any form of religious figure?
We are not divine spirits or religious leaders.

I think not
I don't believe so.

Watch your words or your words will haunt you
Be careful what you say, because your words can have lasting consequences.

Think before you do
Consider the outcomes before you take action.

Don't be so fucking impulsive
Don't be rash or careless in your decisions.

All we are, are mindless puppets who follow the leader
We are often just following the crowd, without thinking for ourselves.

How do our leaders know what to do?
How do our leaders have all the answers?

They are only as intelligent as the rest of us
Our leaders are not necessarily smarter than the general population.

Not smarter
They might actually be less intelligent.

Maybe dumber
Perhaps they are not that bright.

Live how you want
Live your life according to your own beliefs and desires.

Don't let others control you.
Don't let anyone else dictate how you live your life.

Don't bash people because they're different
Don't criticize others for being different from you.

They're only different because they don't want to be like you
Others may seem different because they don't share your views or values.

Has that ever crossed your mind?
Have you ever thought about other people's perspectives?

Think about it
Reflect on your actions and thoughts.

I may not have talents or documents saying that I can say this
I might not have any qualifications to say what I'm about to say.

But it's a free country and I'll speak my fucking mind
However, I have the right to express my opinions and views.

Don't be a fool to your surroundings
Don't be naive about your environment.

We know you're there and so do you
We are aware of your presence, and so are you.

You aren't invisible and they are bastards for pretending it
Others should not be ignoring or overlooking you.

So, you're not the "it" crowd material, they say?
You don't conform to societal norms and expectations?

Fuck them
Don't let them dictate your worth or value.

Mindless drones is all they are
They are just following the crowd without thinking for themselves.

Start a group of people who don't fit in and one day
Form a community with others who share your views.

You will rule the world
Together, you can make a difference and change the world.

Think about it
Consider the possibilities and the power of coming together.
