Poisonous Thorn

I came into this world, nothing but a clean slate

But didn’t take long for the world to fill my plate

Filled it with its lies and all its corruption

Filled it with its dark images of destruction

Showing me how to lie, steal, and cheat

Stuck this all on my plate, the only thing it gave me to eat

So with this, the world started to form me

With each experience it began to mold me

All starting with this thing called love

How it’s always there until things got tough

Because we stand at the altar and say those “holy vows”

Really we’re just lying straight to our future spouse

The world telling me that love expires

Because this world is just filled with cheats and liars

Telling me that I just shouldn’t trust

That all my decisions should be made purely on lust

Find a nice girl with a nice little booty

Because the only thing that matters in this world is beauty

And now that I’ve got this hot little spouse

I need to go work on that palace like house

Just focus on the money, ‘cuz it can buy happiness

No need to be nice, ‘cuz the world just loves sassiness

Just have to destroy and rule all that I can

Because power is the only thing that can make me a man

And there is no way I can say how I feel

Got to keep acting fake, ‘cuz this world just ain’t real

There’s no way I can show any emotion

Nah, this would start too big of a commotion

That would just show me to be so weak

But that’s old school, like an antique

I’m too busy trying to create this persona

Until I am more fake than Santa

But at least Santa brings us toys

While we’re just being puppeted, trying to be a “real boy”

But, at least now we’re so powerful

Got all this money to make our lives so wonderful

Have all these girls rushing, looking for some gold

But when the money’s gone, it’ll drought like the dust bowl

So I guess money does buy happiness

For without it, life i just emptiness

Like my slate when I was first born

Before it was stung by earths poisonous thorn
