    Lost and Found

    this world seems to me
    so incredibly fucked up
    god's cosmic plan
    i hope he had a backup
    when dealing with men
    the end is just a toss up
    all this killing and hate
    is it ever gonna letup

    i came home from work
    and turned on the news
    i watched too much
    until my mind got bruised
    my head started spinning
    and i got confused
    if this game never ends
    then we're all gonna lose

    (chorus)

    if the world keeps spinning
    around and around
    if a tree falls down
    does it make a sound
    if life gets too tough
    try to stand your ground
    try to find your faith
    at the lost and found

    we got man killing man
    for their land or religion
    got people hoarding money
    like it's a competition
    we got guns in schools
    and millions of addictions
    we got racist cops
    and crooked politicians

    we got the left and the right
    and they spew their criticisms
    we got the moral majority
    and it's called fanaticism
    we got child-molesting priests
    in need of exorcisms
    we got industrial revolution
    and high-tech barbarism

    (chorus)

    if the world keeps spinning
    around and around
    if a tree falls down
    does it make a sound
    if life gets too tough
    try to stand your ground
    try to find your faith
    at the lost and found

    we got paparazzi media
    entertaining exploitation
    and reality television
    but it's just a fabrication
    we got anorexic supermodels
    who can meet those expectations
    we got too many people breeding
    yes that's my observation

    (chorus)

    if the world keeps spinning
    around and around
    if a tree falls down
    does it make a sound
    if life gets too tough
    try to stand your ground
    try to find your faith
    at the lost and found

    thanks for the reply... i was thinking early red hot chili peppers when i wrote it... but i haven't totally decided what kind of music to put to it yet... i've tried a few different things but it's still in it's begining stages.

    i just joined this forum today and have a lot more poems and lyrics to post. i figured i'd only post a few today and see what kind of response i get.

    have a great day,
    doug
