Take a piece of gum, and chew it
Do it for a while, and then throw it
Start anew, keep on chewing
Until you lose the flavor
Throw it away, and keep on hunting
Hunt for a substitute
Typical human behavior
So now, take the concept of gum, and apply it to us
How many people’s souls did we take?
And decided to throw it under the bus
We killed our own brothers, and ate their flesh
We chewed up our own sisters, with the fresh flavor of lust
Savour the taste, spit it out, and left them in the dust
We treat our own kind like miners, and manipulate them for our desires
Man, let me just keep it simple
Greed always has been a dark trait for humanity
Like an AIDS going throughout the immunity
To the oppressor, it did not matter who used for what
To us, it’s not us; so why it would matter
So oppressed were left alone to suffer on the verge of insanity
To keep it more simple,
Getting what we want through others
Is the equivalent of crossing the desert
And stumbling upon an oasis
That’s why we are the victims
Of a heartbreaking epidemic known as the Bubblegum Tragedy
