Disturbed Innocence
(Who is innocent? No one is innocent. Who is innocent?)
Who is innocent?
Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief,
The killer walks again,
Freed by evil men in their dark charade,
This can't be happening,
A mother's selfish pride,
Her child's homicide,
Can she be to blame?
The suited vultures circling,
A father's cruelty,
A murdered family,
Is the world insane?
Their defenders ready to embrace their lies,
With their devious smiles,
Chorus:
Your corruption is like,
A cancer growing inside,
You owe the world an apology,
You've been taught all your life,
That truth is easy to hide,
You'll face your judgement another day,
And suffer eternally,
Presumed innocent,
Justice fails again in the masquerade,
A battered woman trembling,
Her lover drunk again,
When will the torture end,
In her web of shame?
Is death the only way?
A child victimized,
The crime politicized,
For the counselor's gain,
The rabid media congregates,
His tortured memories,
A pervert's fantasies,
Is the world insane?
The parasitic devastation seen,
On your TV screen,
Chorus:
Your corruption is like,
A cancer growing inside,
You owe the world an apology,
You've been taught all your life,
That truth is easy to hide,
You'll face your judgement another day,
And suffer eternally,
False defender, burn forever,
Cold and spineless, have you no soul?
Wicked-minded, out of control and guided,
By their hunger, they will find new,
Ways to betray us,
Chorus:
Your corruption is like,
A cancer growing inside,
You owe the world an apology,
You've been taught all your life,
That truth is easy to hide,
You'll face your judgement another day,
And suffer eternally,
Who is innocent?
Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief,
Presumed innocent,
Justice fails again in the masquerade,
Has the whole world become insane?
