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
