How We Are

[Transit.letum]

Only half way done, kinda stuck, any suggestions?


Is this how life
Is supposed to be?
Starring at a knife
Pointing back at me?
Where did we
Go wrong?
Was it the weed
In the bong?
Or the Jack
And the Coke
Or Iraq
Up in smoke?


I don't know why
We are how we are, whoa
But how we are is why
I ain't gonna see tomorrow.
I don't know why
We are how we are, whoa
But how we are is why
Ya kids do blow.


I don't know about
You but I gotta
Get out and shout out
About yatta yatta
**** that'll make
You tense
**** that'll take
A little commonsense
But listen to it
So you will witness
And admit
To your sickness


I don't know why
We are how we are, whoa
But how we are is why
There's less friend then foe
I don't know why
We are how we are, whoa
But how we are is why
Everything's quid pro quo

Adding some more to what I wrote:

Guns are blarin'
Blood is spillin'
No one's carin'
No one's willin'
To do anything
About it
Take a swing
Or get hit.
We gotta stand
Tall and proud
Cuz this is our land
This **** ain't allowed


I don't know why
We are how we are, whoa
But how we are is why
The cops don't show
I don't know why
We are how we are, whoa
But how we are is why
We've got death row
