Heartless World
|
|
Song Notes:
We live in a world troubled by violence, corruption, and indifference... a heartless world. Too many people give up on having anything better and get beaten down until they become part of the problem. They go with the flow because it's easier, because it seems like the smart thing to do, or because they don't believe they have a choice.
The message of this song is that we need to remember this world is what we make of it. We can have a better world if we choose to make it better - first by being better ourselves, and then by requiring others to do the same. We don't have to accept the hate, indifference, greed, and decay that we find around us. We can replace these things with love, caring, generosity, and growth.
We get out of this world what we put into it.
So, put your heart in it, and make this world the better place we all want to see... or else!
"Put your heart into it, or suffer."
Lyrics
(Uh)
Mistreater with a bad reputation
(C'mon)
You can spot her with her face lift pony tail
(I can't hear you)
Stiff competition, keep your blue pills ready
(C'mon)
Loyalty!? What you done for me lately!?
(Uh huh)
You know it's business 'cause it sure ain't personal
(That's right)
Time to shiny up the lies on your resume
(Uh)
Roll on heartless world
(I've got a chest full of stones)
Everyday a bit colder
(Man, a cold world but we still got to live in it)
You know you get what you choose
(What would you do? What would I do?)
Put your heart into it,
(You put your heart in it?)
or suffer in a heartless world
(You got your heart in it?!)
Politicians with a wrong wing agenda
(C'mon)
You find them dancing to the shake of the money tree
(That's right)
Rather burn it all down than to compromise
Out to win it and we're taking no prisoners
(It's up to me and you)
We're not crying for the loser less fortunate
(Yeah, yeah. Uh huh)
You can't help it if they're stupid and lazy, can you?!
(Got to get up)
Roll on heartless world
(You know it's cold outside)
Everyday a bit colder
(A cold world, but we still got to live in it)
You know you get what you choose
(Uh uh uh, c'mon)
Put your heart into it
(Now put your heart in it)
Or suffer in a heartless world
(Let's change this)
We start murdering children?! That's a problem!
(Man! C'mon)
Sounds like we got problems and we need to solve them!
(THAT'S RIGHT!)
Let's have a moment of silence and put away the revolvers.
We in a head-on collision and we ain't in a Volvo
(No, NO!)
No, man, what's going on?
You need to really pay attention to the words of this song.
It's cold outside, we're living in a heartless world.
(No heart)
They selling plastic for diamonds, mothballs for pearls
(What you call that?!)
I seen entire 'hoods dripping out like exodus,
(What?!)
innocence lost like the 26 in Connecticut
God, bless us. Prayin' for the return of Jesus,
(yep)
looking 'round for backup but it's just us.
Roll on heartless world
(It's up to me. It's up to you)
Everyday a bit colder
(Cold world but we still got to live in it)
You know you get what you choose
(Choose to do the right thing)
Put your heart into it
(It's up to me. It's up to you)
Or suffer in a heartless world
(Let's rearrange this)
Roll on heartless world
(Why're you so heartless? Why're we so heartless?)
Everyday a bit colder
(A cold world, but we still got to live in it)
You know you got what you choose
(What would you do? What would I do?)
Put your heart into it
(Now put your heart in it.)
Or suffer.
