I decide to read the newspaper today
Most days, from it, I try and keep away
Nearly every article is filled with anger and misery
It builds up such a rage in me
Another article about murder, about suicide, about death
Another person caught infesting the world with the drug of meth
I read of aids, spreading
Too much fucking to do for anyone to care, infecting
Another poor man dies while another man keeps all his wealth for himself
Another war we want to try and win, while the whole of humanity defeats itself
These pages fill me with rage
We should be fighting the real enemy
We should be fighting the real enemy, humanity
Rage builds up, but I read on anyway
More depressing stories, for one more depressing day
A man killed his family, then killed himself
Another girl got arrested, out on the street, prostituting herself
Too many are very poor, while the few of the rich are very well
Another poor man dies while another man keeps all his wealth for himself
Another war we want to try and win, while the whole of humanity defeats itself
We should be fighting the real enemy
We should be fighting the real enemy, humanity
Lets just keep prolonging the inevitable with more pointless wars that smoke up the sky
All these articles kill my will to go on, to try
All these realities kill my will to go on, to try
Another article of decline, deficits, and lost wages
It just never stops, the misery goes on as I turn the pages
Another story of looting, polluting
Another story of people divorcing, caught cheating
Another child that has taken another unjustified beating
Another story of our natural resources, depleting
I cannot believe this is what Im really reading
I cannot believe this is the world in which Im living
No one wants to face the truth, truth they would rather be denying
These pages fill me with rage
I cannot believe this is what Im really reading
I cannot believe this is the world in which Im living
These pages fill me with rage
These pages fill me with rage
How many sick things happened today that weren’t reported?
How many children were born today to parents who don’t really care?, better off aborted
How many rapes happened which only those involved are still the only ones that are aware of it?
How many people killed themselves today because they can no longer handle all of this?
How many drugs were sold?
How many lies by politicians were told?
These pages fill me with rage
These pages fill me with rage
This reality fills me with rage, Im glad I can die at anytime I want to
This reality fills me with depression, aren’t you glad you can die at anytime you want to?
This reality fills me with rage and depression, Im glad I can die anytime I want to
Its all closing in, in on us
Its all surrounding us, slowly destroying us
Its all closing in
Its all closing in on us
Too much rage and suffering now
Too much of them both to care
None of this is right, none of this is fair
Too much of rage and suffering now
Too much of both now to care
Its all just closing in
Trapped while alive
None of this is right
Too much suffering and rage
None of this is fair
Too much rage and suffering
Too much to go on in life and still care
I can’t believe what Im reading, these pages fill me with rage
I can’t believe this is the world in which Im living
I decided to read the newspaper today
Today, like most days, I should of kept away
Nearly every article filled with anger and misery
It builds up such a depression in me
