New Codes

You've got your problems

Same as I've got mine

So you could say that

Our fates do intertwine

Let’s not be hasty

Don’t take it as a sign

You've got your problems

But they’re not same as mine

You got yours and I’ve got mine

But some things will never change

- you have learned nothing

You gladly dish out guilt

Where it don't belong

You shift the blame

Saying how could you be wrong

Stack up excuses all night long

Some things will never change

- you have earned nothing

Bigots ride rough shod

Over common decency

Bullies become victims

That’s the new currency

Thugs and ruffians define

New codes of morality

Your world is infested

With half-truths and pure lies

When your logic is tested

Only threats materialize

You drag your knuckles with pride

Wear your ignorance with a smirk

When they opened the sewer

You came out of the woodwork

Look who crawled out of the woodwork!

Some things will never change

- you have earned nothing
