    Default Lifeīs inferno

    Iīm sitting here and wondering
    Questions in my burning mind
    Why is the world like it is?
    What is a meaning of our lives?

    Looking back through history
    From ancient times to nowadays
    Why has all happened what is
    A purpose on mankindīs path

    When you wondered the same as me
    At least one time in your life
    Let me take you on a long journey
    Through unexplored places in time

    In primeval ages
    Man was born naked
    With nothing to this world

    He lived in harmony
    With nature and took
    Only how much he needed

    After time he learnt well
    Animals to kill
    And enemies in defense

    He worked only when it
    Was needed for living
    No bad thoughts of abuse

    But one nature in him
    That was overwhelming
    Started to going out

    Hidden danger inside
    Started to rule his life
    Infernoīs broken out

    Bridge:
    Laziness – part of our lives
    Laziness – in everyone of us
    Laziness – neverending fight
    Laziness – how long will we deny?

    Chorus:
    Donīt have to be a scientist
    Or high – educated man
    After a lot of research works
    To ancient question understand

    Donīt have to be a reader
    Of all books in history
    Donīt have to be a clairvoyant
    To find an answer that dwells in me

    Laziness became a gear
    For all who didnīt dare
    To fight it with a work

    They have been using lies
    To justify their crimes
    To confirm a primal nature

    Hand in hand with religions
    And politic persuasions
    To live on the highest level (and not to work)

    Moral speeches of fakers
    Bloodhanded moneymakers
    In their own built world order

    Bridge:
    Laziness – part of our lives
    Laziness – in everyone of us
    Laziness – neverending fight
    Laziness – how long will we deny?

    Chorus:
    Donīt have to be a scientist
    Or high – educated man
    After a lot of research works
    To ancient question understand

    Donīt have to be a reader
    Of all books in history
    Donīt have to be a clairvoyant
    To find an answer that dwells in me

    Reasons and alibies – Reasons to be pharaoh (to be served)
    Built up with lies - to be king (not to work)
    Reasons and alibies - to be president (to command)
    Reasons and alibies – Reasons to have slaves (to be served)
    Built up with lies - to have privileges (not to work)
    Reasons and alibies - to have grades (to command)
    Built up with lies
    Alibies
    Lies!!

    Regimes are changing through history
    Terms are changing along with it (slaves to citizen
    Nobleman to politician)
    But under all these changing stripes
    Laziness rules and enforce our lies

    Chorus:
    Donīt have to be a scientist
    Or high – educated man
    After a lot of research works
    To ancient question understand

    Donīt have to be a reader
    Of all books in history
    Donīt have to be a clairvoyant
    To find an answer that dwells in me

    Again sitting here and relaxing
    Answer in my tired mind
    Reason why the worldīs like it is
    What is a gear of our lives

    This has some interesting ideas and I think it would make an interesting song. I just want to recommend changing the verb form in 2 lines. When you use a conjunction like "for" or "of" or "in" or "from", you should use the present progressive verb form, -ing. If you use an infinitive verb, don't use the conjunction. It's your choice, you can use one or the other of these examples:

    Reasons and alibies – Reasons for being or just to be pharaoh (to be served)
    ...
    ...
    Reasons and alibies – Reasons for having or just to have slaves (to be served)

    Some older writings used "for to be" occasionally (conjunction + infinitive) but it's very archaic or strictly poetic. It is possible that you could use that form, but I don't recommend it unless you want it to sound very very much like a traditional folk song.

    Nice rhythm and word flow Hugo, I do like this.
