Who's in Charge Here?
==================

It happened
and happens now as before
and will keep happening
if nothing happens against it

The innocents know nothing
because they're too innocent
and the guilty ones know nothing
because they're too guilty

The poor don't notice
because they're too poor
and the rich don't notice it
because they're too rich

The stupid ones shrug their shoulders
because they're too stupid
and the smart ones shrug their shoulders
because they're too smart

To young ones it doesn't matter
because they're too young
and to old ones it doesn't matter
because they're too old

This is why nothing happens against it
and this is why it happened
and happens as before
and will always keep happening

It Is What It Is
============

It is madness
says reason
It is what it is
says love

It is unhappiness
says caution
It is nothing but pain
says fear
It has no future
says insight
It is what it is
says love

It is ridiculous
says pride
It is foolish
says caution
It is impossible
says experience
It is what it is
says love.
