The Mirror of the Masses- Holly Mahan

They tell us they’re doing what’s for our best good But all they think about is getting more green, and how they could Like by telling us folks that we’re not doing all we should They can’t look in a mirror cus they’d have to feel something if they would While all these good people go day by day Telling their children “honey it’ll all go away” Just hold on some more, just hope and pray Till Jesus comes down and cures it someday We can’t wait for a fucking rapture This messed up structure’s already a disaster Denying people of life’s basic needs Told us to hush when we begged “please” No more begging. Give em clean water, give em clean air Ban the chemicals that dull their lovely hair Give the public what they are rightly due For all the times you hid what you always knew Stand up you people of empathy The ones who still have that morality It’s a new era risen, a new sun that shines A new light burning in all of our tired eyes
