This world’s going to Hell
Cause parents won’t teach their children
The difference between right and wrong
When those towers fell
I didn’t see one person
Whose heart wasn’t movin’
How quickly we forget
The past and how it
Kicks us in the back today
This generation’s in a fit
Like a child who don’t get his way
Spoiled brats who’s gotten everything handed to them
Always looking, never full
People ain’t got no aspirations
Why be more if you’re just an animal
Work just ain’t for us
And we don’t want to know
How much some people want it
To give their families a home
This world’s gone crazy
They think You’re gone
Little do they know
That they’re dead wrong, God
They’re dead wrong
They do what they will
And hurt those who go or stay
So until this mess is cleaned in Your good time
That’s why I pray
Gunfights, city lights, murder on the streets
Bombs exploding, blood is flowing under another human’s feet
School’s teaching lies, ‘cause the people tell them to
Our babies losing lives to play the whims of the few
America the giant, now only giant sideways
The glory past, now coming fast, is the time to pay
Declarations of freedom to tax the people under us
Send our soldiers to a war, then bring them back, just because
This world’s gone crazy
They think You’re gone
Little do they know
That they’re dead wrong, God
They’re dead wrong
They do what they will
And hurt those who go or stay
So until this mess is cleaned in Your good time
That’s why I pray
That’s why I pray
So if you’re a God-fearing
America loving
Child rearing
Government shoving
Good ole’ boy
Or city guy
Join me and I’ll tell you why
This world’s gone crazy
They think You’re gone
Little do they know
That they’re dead wrong, God
They’re dead wrong
They do what they will
And hurt those who go or stay
So until this mess is cleaned in Your good time
That’s why I pray
That’s why I pray
