This World is Goin’ Down
1st verse
Where this road is leading us weighs heavy on my mind
There seems to be more questions than answers I can find
The world must have forgotten about the way it once was
Caught up in a vicious cycle that it can’t rise above
Every one of us is going up in the flames
But we keep pushing on no matter the what the price we pay
Chorus
This world is goin’ down without a fight
On judgement day we’ll be standing side by side
As the Lord doesn’t forgive us for our sins
Wipes us clean so he can begin again
Maybe his next creation will make him proud
But for now this world is goin’ down
2nd verse
What is shown to be real is what we choose to believe
Blind to the fate of man but yet we still can see
The five year old beauty queens who have lost their innocence
Or watching the real housewives of playing pretend
Every one of us is tuning in but we’re also tuning out
A message that can’t be heard through the television sounds
Repeat chorus
3rd verse
There is something missing on the streets and the playgrounds
Never thought the sound of silence could be so loud
We keep our children locked up for the fear of the unknown
In turn they become imprisoned by the rush of the phone
Every one of them is suffering with no end in sight
A slave to technology as their imaginations die
Repeat chorus
