The World That We Live In

Hey guys!

I was in the shower earlier on and I was just singing some songs. Then suddenly I thought, what am I saying? The lyrics weren't that clean. I wasn't singing some sick songs, just normal pop songs that are in right now.

Is that all we've become? The whole earth listening to songs about sex?! You know most times I play the guitar and I sing along. The music and lyrics just blended in together. I didn't even realise what I was singing. I was just concentrating on the tunes. Just check out the lyrics of some popular songs, they don't exactly suggest very moral things.

See that's the problem with us now. We're singing these types of songs, we might not pay attention to the lyrics. But subconsciously, we're accepting that these actions that the lyrics speak of are right. We keep singing and saying these immoral things and now you get kids who think pre-marital sex is alright, that living with your partner before marriage is alright.

We ask ourselves why the rates of abortion in teenage girls are so high, why the figures for STDs are going up. We think we have measures to prevent these stuff. Things like sex education and stuff like the morning-after pill. What we don't realise is that prevention is better than cure. You provide the measures, but we're not preventing the problem.

So what I'm trying to say is, for any of y'all who wanna write songs and make music. Please be responsible and keep it clean. There are a thousand things in the world to write about, why go the same way as others and write about the same thing. We're suppose to be smart people, so get creative!
