Cancel my Subscription
When the people of this world can't live up to the expectations they set for us all, it's time to cancel that subscription to what they are trying to sell.
I.
When the preacher man
can’t live the life
he preach,
Cancel my subscription.
II.
When the law-and-order man
can’t follow
the rules he makes,
Cancel my subscription.
III.
When the peaceful man
kills,
when the strong man
fails,
when the honest man
lies,
Cancel my subscription.
IV.
I don’t need to read them anymore.
I don’t need their words,
anymore.
V.
All I have is me
and the morals I paved;
the beliefs I built.
VI.
I need no words from them.
I need to read the ones I write.
VI.
For them,
I cancel my subscription.
For me,
I start a new subscription
to me.
