Respect

We are killing our oceans
The air that we breathe
We are yanking out our hearts
Next will be our right to breed

There is nothing wrong with us
the ones till now was so damn quite
we knew all along this world was madness
others, now are catching on

 

Their killing our sons and daughters
through there well oiled machines
no reason for them to stop now
in them we pledge to believe
thinking our shopping at walmart
is helping our economy
while they are laughing all the way to the bank

 

Move away from Jersey Shore, hey wait, why not all MTV
start making music of your own, instead of a particular beat
Demand more out of Disney aduts (parents, directors, producers),
instead of the shredding apart the kids

 

Live your life the way you see it, not what others wish.

Respect YOURSELF

Be happy with what you have, give praise every day in whichever way
you see fit

Respect YOURSELF

Give to others more freely, with no expectation of returns

Respect YOURSELF

Learn to live with nature, remember,  we are all one

Respect YOURSELF

Check where your food really comes from, or better yet grow your own

Respect YOURSELF
