Carmalized Lust
They say in God we trust
yet it's lust in disguise
Can't we see through those twisted lies
a word to the wise
Hugh Hefner has exploited the masses
by his irresistible photo snaps in
eyes, hearts & dreams
Unfolding at the seams
We compartmentalize love for instant lust
instant gratification or bust
Falling apart at the seams
evil scenes
Replace logic for fear
I shed a tear to numb the inner pain
Vogue has there spread
what is going on inside are heads
In a twentieth first century world in a rush
Billboards will grab for your attention
you will do as you are told until the rights to you are sold
Love will soon make a come back
