We may have won the battle, but they never fought the war.

we are living in a rose tinted nation,
trying to live up to our own declarations
avoiding participation in our own rehabilitation
_____________
yet we still choose depression as our safety station
we are surrounded by distorted imagery
illusions and delusions of how we ought to be
fighting for democracy and unrealistic dreams of equality
__________
yet racism still a well known and preached philosophy
we place our goals just within our reach
we use empty books to educate and teach
we memorise our perfect speech, tick the box 'donate to aid relief'
__________
yet obesity is our number one retreat
we follow the rules on how to behave
make notes of what and to whom we gave
pray to god and you will be saved, all our sins he forgave
__________
yet a mortgage pays for the tombstone on our grave
our eyes have closed in this rose tinted nation
as the economy rose we sacrificed our identification
lost our salvation in the walls of our self built concentration
___________
and we pity them with their lack of complication
