Our World

My band is called Barely Human, and we're a Heavy/Goth Metal band, with a touch of rap to lighten the mood. We also have no guitarist, just two bassists. Should be fun.

Our World.

The Richard Weston experience - yo, yo, yo, livin’ it up in the Donnington massive, smoking it up in their conservatory! Livin’ it up in Newbury! Etc.

Chorus
This is the World!
World we live in!
This is the World!
World we live in!
This is the World!
World we live in!
This is our World!
How we hate it!

1
Look at the shit your walking on,
Look at the bile all around you,
Look at the filth you walk in,
All of it made by you!

Man in the street with dirt on his face,
Girl on the floor with tears in her eyes,
Child on the screen with clothes so thin,
Guy in the corner with blood on his wrists.

Is this our world?

Chorus
This is the World!
World we live in!
This is the World!
World we live in!
This is the World!
World we live in!
This is our World!
How we hate it!

2
Trees burning, creatures dying,
Grey stone, business suits,
Cappuccino, smile nicely,
Everyone is so fucked up!

Kid on the floor with no parents,
Girl on my knee barely old enough
Man over there with scars on his face
Man at the front with no remorse!

Chorus
This is the World!
World we live in!
This is the World!
World we live in!
This is the World!
World we live in!
This is our World!
How we hate it!
This is the World!
World we live in!
This is the World!
World we live in!
This is the World!
World we live in!
This is our World!
How we hate it!

It's very... blunt ^.^ The message is clear (though I really can't say I agree with it!)

Hehe, I guess it would work. I can sort of imagine it as a sort of metal song with scary raspy shouting etc. (?)

Yes, that's about it. It's an askew version of what we see around us, my mate The Richard Weston Experiance will be saying a lot more in a sort of townie/rap style, about the local McDonalds and the local crack addicts and all that, and the it just sorta bursts into it.

It was hardly in the effect you wanted.
And for it being blunt, o.o Its not near what i've seen being said, its kind of sth between papa roach and the backstreet boys.

Thats what the wtf was for.

Ooooh! Handbag!

It aint supposed to be Metallica. It's supposed to be about stress, frustration and bewilderment. Did that not seem clear?

And I like Papa Roach, some of their stuff isn't too bad.

IT sounded like a self-hating pity for suicide in 2 minutes song to me..

Anonymous is an unknown quantity at this point
Liked the song, Though the cappuccino line doesnt mix with the song. Just my opinion.
