Upside Down World
By Thomas B. Heffner
(Verse 1)
The world has turned upside down,
Society is having a complete meltdown.
Good is now evil, evil is now good.
Insanity is spreading to every neighborhood.
Peaceful protests have turned into violent mobs,
Defying the law has now become a paid job.
Core ethical beliefs are no longer the standard,
Instead, it's good men and women being slandered.
(Chorus)
It's an upside down world these days,
Rebelling against authority is the new craze.
It's an upside down world we live upon,
The world we once knew is completely gone.
It's an upside down world that we find ourselves in,
Understanding and tolerance are becoming thin.
It's an upside down world we call Earth,
Where honor, morals, and virtue seem to no longer have any worth.
(Verse 2)
Truth no longer seems to be respected,
The art of lying and deceit has been perfected.
Protecting criminals is now a righteous act,
Defending your own life is viewed as abstract.
Flying the American flag is now an act of war,
Patriotism is now hated and scorned.
Gender is now an all-you-can-eat buffet,
Every dirty secret is now on display.
(Chorus)
It's an upside down world these days,
Rebelling against authority is the new craze.
It's an upside down world we live upon,
The world we once knew is completely gone.
It's an upside down world that we find ourselves in,
Understanding and tolerance are becoming thin.
It's an upside down world we call Earth,
Where honor, morals, and virtue seem to no longer have any worth.
(Verse 3)
Acts of kindness are disdained and grounds for arrest,
Creating chaos daily seems to be the newest quest.
Protecting your land from conquerors is frowned upon,
The line in the sand has certainly been drawn.
Standing tall and proud makes you a tyrant,
The younger generation is encouraged to be defiant.
Insanity is the normal behavior these days,
Something must be done before the world completely decays.
(Bridge)
Look around for yourself and see the truth,
Take a look at what's happening to our youth.
Every good thing done is condemned and abolished,
Reputations of good men and women are demolished.
It's an upside down world we now occupy,
It's enough to break your spirit and make you cry.
(Chorus)
It's an upside down world these days,
Rebelling against authority is the new craze.
It's an upside down world we live upon,
The world we once knew is completely gone.
It's an upside down world that we find ourselves in,
Understanding and tolerance are becoming thin.
It's an upside down world we call Earth,
Where honor, morals, and virtue seem to no longer have any worth.
(Outro)
So what are we going to do to repair the world?
We need to stand our ground with our flags unfurled.
We need to speak out and work to change what's wrong,
Decency and common sense must be our theme songs...
Because we live in an upside down world!
