Foolish BoysWith Their Toys
Written by Wilfred Mellers, Friday, November 23,2012

You are a foolish boy with your toys
You own the world and everyone in it
Their hearts and souls, you can't ever win it
Information access you spin it
You are a foolish boy with your toys

You spit hate and say you are great
You don't even bat an eye when others die.
Sure, you can blow up the world if you want to.
Tell me, after that, then what will you do?
You are a foolish boy with your toys.

When the world comes to an end.
Will that mean that you are a man?
Arrogant and so unwise.
Surrounded by stooges to fill your heads with lies.
How foolish can you be?

You are masters of the world and ruler of none.
The life you took solely for fun.
The gun took everything you claim to own.
What will you do when you are left here all alone?
You're a foolish boy with your toys.

Coding your messages to the grassroots.
Fictitious fantasy filled with pure untruths.
So foolish and unwise.
You can't even see your demise.
Foolish boys with your toys.

You've gained the world yet lost your soul.
The very land you stand on, yes, you stole.
This very world you're going to destroy.
No steeds left to herd by the cowboy.
You've been very foolish boys with your toys.
