"birth pains"

you spilled the blood and spoiled everything
taking turns at playing God with someone else's life
and no sponge can soak up the blood
that cries out on the floor
and all you can say is that you'd like to kill some more

explain to me your mentality
having to sit a child on your knee in front of the television
and having to explain

explain away with sociology
to blame the media and video games we play
but that's an easy way to dismiss this
as society goes down the drain
and these are just the beginning of the birth pains

a distant sun, a wormwood star
just destroy it all it's gone too far
we don't deserve to live in our humanness
or have children that grow up in a world like this
things fall apart, the center doesn't hold
and the younger we are
the more we're forced to grow old

and the scariest part of this whole charade
is that it only gets worse i'm afraid
and though i'd like to believe the lies
that we can solve this with our feeble brains
i know there are sure to be more birth pains
