Warning Signs
Written by: Doug Scharley
Lyrics © D. R. Scharley Consulting Inc.
Warning signs all around us
Warning signs they surround us
How apathetic are we?
Too lazy to care or to see
Hate no longer in the shadows
Bodies hanging from the gallows
Where has humanity gone?
Cheering murder during a song
What the fuck have we discovered?
Vicious hate has been uncovered
It was always there just below
The surface where it didn't show
All the worst we have inside us
It will rise to now divide us
How do we go back from here?
Everybody so full of fear
(Chorus)
Warning signs are all around us
Warning signs they surround us
How apathetic are we?
Too lazy to care or to see
Oligarchs they reign with madness
Bringing death and so much sadness
Which lives are worth it to save?
Another hundred into the grave
Young men sent to kill their neighbors
Doing no one any favors
Do they have a clue of the truth?
History will not forgive their youth
Men and women now are soldiers
All the weight is on their shoulders
They've had to stand and to die
And stare evil straight in the eye
(Chorus)
Warning signs are all around us
Warning signs they surround us
How apathetic are we?
Too lazy to care or to see
Where is love and all the kindness?
It's been left so far behind us
We need to all give a shit
And care about all of it
Right and wrong don't seem to matter
Our fuse is short we're getting madder
There's no taste for compromise
All we've got left are the lies
Vital signs are getting flatter
Twitter tweets with so much chatter
But how much is focused on this?
Ignorance really is bliss
(Chorus)
Warning signs are all around us
Warning signs they surround us
How apathetic are we?
Too lazy to care or to see
Warning signs are all around us
Warning signs they surround us
How apathetic are we?
Too lazy to care or to see
This isn’t how it should be
We need peace and to be free
