I guess this is just our society as a stereotype in a nutshell.
an abused child,
or any voice that chooses to stand up
And say "this is wrong."
Because that cop, that dad,
that husband is just too nice.
Our society will turn their cheeks to
report rape or any endangered being,
But our traffic slows to watch the crash.
Our society puts yellow ribbons everywhere
As they purchase gas-guzzling vehicles.
Our society will tell the young to be good,
while they turn their backs to their own rules.
Our society will tell themselves, "that will never happen to me,"
because bad things don't happen in small towns.
Our society lives to buy diet pills,
only to watch their wallets lose weight.
Our society wants world peace,
but their bumper stickers say "God Bless America"

Our Society
Our society will shush a battered wife,an abused child,
or any voice that chooses to stand up
And say "this is wrong."
Because that cop, that dad,
that husband is just too nice.
Our society will turn their cheeks to
report rape or any endangered being,
But our traffic slows to watch the crash.
Our society puts yellow ribbons everywhere
As they purchase gas-guzzling vehicles.
Our society will tell the young to be good,
while they turn their backs to their own rules.
Our society will tell themselves, "that will never happen to me,"
because bad things don't happen in small towns.
Our society lives to buy diet pills,
only to watch their wallets lose weight.
Our society wants world peace,
but their bumper stickers say "God Bless America"
