In This Human Zoo

I'm sinking in this world of pain 

Just waiting for a gentle rain

The whole thing has gone insane

All my best efforts were all in vain,

Just when I thought I could love you

You stabbed me right in the heart on cue 

Just like you were cruising down the avenue

Leaving your stain in this human zoo,

Now it's time I went to bed 

But there's all these thoughts in my head

In my mind your memory is dead

Seeing all this on an empty thread 

Why can't we just have love instead? 

Why can't we just have love instead?

The streets have become battlegrounds in big cities

As our leaders lie on newly formed committees

Modern day pirates on the high seas

Dangerous prescriptions and doctor’s fees,

Every night I hope and pray

Hoping Jesus will come and stay

But the night is dark and not okay

I’m hoping that the traitors pay,

In this day who can you trust?

People now feed on lies, unfaithfulness, and lust

You can lose all you own in a wind gust

Is there really anything that’s just?

Why can't we just have love instead? 

Why can't we just have love instead?

Those words have echoed in my head

From every angle it seems like we’re being misled

Take me out to the whipping shed

I shouldn’t have said,

Everyone’s been cut and has bled

So many tears have been shed

I sleep each night in a cold empty bed

Too many people today on their meds,

Some people live in total dread

Others can’t find enough bread

It’s a sad existence God, enough said

Your sheep need to be led,

Why can't we just have love instead? 

Why can't we just have love instead?
