Isnt this body Mine/ Killing Ourselves

We can paint pictures with the blood of children
In a field of red, where only guns seem to listen
And I better watch what I say but
Why is it dangerous to speak my opinion?

I came into this world where me is mine
these laws try to tell me, that this aint mine
and it aint right, so i speak my mind
let me live my life, without your guideline

We can drink til we reach the bottom of the ocean
But smoke a little pot, end up in prison
"its illegal" is not quite a reason
maybe control is all you can believe in

If We can drive this machine into the dirt
Why cant we stop all the peoples hurt
And how can ones opinion tell me
what not to wear on my shirt

"So lets make a law
that you must follow"
blah blah blah
you make my heart hollow!

We're Killing us!!

If we tought you how to love
could you teach us how to live
would the words add up
and then could we forgive

together can we laugh
without being laughed off stage
could we speak our truth
without lies hiding beneath the face

Can we speak our point of view
opinions on the table, without wanting to fight
could we not lose our minds
over a slow traffic light

Or dance to the music
without changing the song
too soon we will be killed
just for singing along
we gotta quit this sick game
of "you are right or wrong"

Why can we go to war
just to kill our being
I gotta say freedoms only a word
when thier stopping us from seeing

this thought
  that you bought has got to be
killing us

we ought
  to get lost
from the wrong that is
killing us

Why arent we all beautiful
if ugly isnt real
why cause the pain
that takes so long to heal
no one wants the cards
that your hatred has to deal

and why feed the bullshit
no one wants to hear
why hate on love
that we all need to feel

and why hate on me
why hate on you
i doubt it can be
theres nothing else to do

why'd we make this world
where no one wants to be
theres really only a word
I'd have to say we're crazy
