New drama every day let me find out
Will it be death of a flood or by drought
Shed a tear for the world 'fore it dies out
And we'd all have something to cry 'bout
The ride out the world weeps 'cause we'd rather be at war
Than provide health benefits to the poor
The economy falls, anarchy soars
And the crisis is elevated for the miseducated
Some of our schools are developin fools
With the help of the media turned into tools
Yeah they're misused abused and left for dead
Like my nervous youth that can't even get some bread
In places like india sudan and niger
Greed has turned honest men into liars
That profit off destruction and desperation yet somehow,
Can't clean up the debt we're facing
Is it because msot of the wealth is owned by a few
That don't give a damn if they lead us all into doom?
Getting hotter every day
Planet's starting to melt
Maybe she weeps because we're all headed for hell
New drama every day let me find out
Will it be death of a flood or by drought
Shed a tear for the world 'fore it dies out
And we'd all have something to cry 'bout
The ride out they say the aim is to be faithfully married with kids
But face it son, we know what the reality is
The average kid don't even know his daddy is his
And these days, they seem to see more gay than straight marriages
The world weeps, cuz more stress can only lead to more tears
They let the television news manipulate you through fear
They lock you up for weed, so they can inundate you with beer
While the North Pole is meltin in the next ten years...
As long as couples keep cheatin
Governments keep sleepin
There will always be a reason why the world keeps weepin
Crooked cops keep beatin
While police abusin
While they cruisin
The world weeps because of confusion
Mother earth's soft skin becoming covered with contusions
From the rainforest killin machines
Burnin and bruisin from the cradle to the grave we forgot what she gave so she weeps cuz we treat her and beat her, like a slave
New drama every day let me find out
Will it be death of a flood or by drought
Shed a tear for the world 'fore it dies out
And we'd all have something to cry 'bout
The ride out Yo, uh!
We need a change for the better
Like a change in bad weather
Change your mind so we can change our focus, get it together
Change the way we think, speak, act, and feel
The world weeps cuz my peeps still actin ill
We got swine flu, ghetto liquor stores with the drive-through
Crime through the roof and the ceiling need I remind you?
The Politicians either reject you, or neglect you
While Hurricane Katrina proves the punks don't protect you.
Maybe they don't protect you, cuz they don't respect you
So you lash out, when they least expect you
Why mother why must the vast majority
Suffer through the mistakes by a minority
Others whom ought'ta question your authority
My brothers should have known to treat you like royalty
But they chose otherwise, and now another dies
And it's no wonder why, i'm watching my mother cry.

Ride out, couldn't find any lyrics so I did it myself. Don't know if it's all accurate or not. peace.
New drama every day let me find out
Will it be death of a flood or by drought
Shed a tear for the world 'fore it dies out
And we'd all have something to cry 'bout
The ride out new drama every day let me find out
Will it be death of a flood or by drought
Shed a tear for the world 'fore it dies out
And we'd all have something to cry 'bout
The ride out all we need's a change for the better (whatchu wan')
And o'course a change in the weather (whatchu need)
All we need's a change for the better
And o'course a change in the weather
