Where has all the good in the world gone?
People wonder why I'm unhappy...

We live a world where cash is king
And the poor man outnumbers

Where less clothes means high fashion
'cause all morals are forgotten

Where rude drivers think they own the land
and give no thought to others

Where Justin Bieber tops the charts
while Chopin hits the bottom

Where mundane things are made to worship
and God is just a backup plan

Where life is lived in the fast lane
and small pleasures are passed over

Where alcohol equals having fun
while families are destroyed

Where spite and hatred fill each heart
which pushes kindness out the door

...and people wonder why I'm unhappy
