gloomy society

[Piano prelude] (repeat 4 times) Verse 1: Have you ever stopped to ponder? How many liars will there be today? How many deceivers walking our way? Crimes committed, can we count them all? Victims suffering, hear their call? Pre-Chorus: In a society where deception grows, Even the just find their chances low, The cunning take all they can seize. Chorus: When dishonorable lead the way, Justice and equality fade away, Not being a victim's the only way. [Piano interlude] (repeat 2 times) Verse 2: Have you stopped to consider this time? How many reports did they file last night? Invoices sent out, how many weren't right? Misinterpretations taking their toll, How many found their loopholes to exploit? Pre-Chorus: A society where trust has gone, Even earnest acts get looked upon, As more deceitful ploys thereon. Chorus: When dishonorable lead the way, Justice and equality fade away, Not being a victim's the only way. Bridge: Delaying debts they try to shun, Yet pay for their children's tuition. Flaunting fancy cars for show, Dating, drinking wherever they go. Outro: Laws are too flawed, they cannot guard, Victims take the blow, feeling scarred. Procedures too complex, values marred, They bring more pain as time goes by. Bridge: Delaying debts they try to shun, Yet pay for their children's tuition.
