Got it all wrong

People look down those who do work that’s seen as menial

But take them away and see their job is not so trivial,

Take away cleaners and emptier of bins

Watch how the germs, bacterias and germs move in,

And what the rats as they start swarming

The flies and the maggots start increasing,

Now tell me how others who are seen in better roles

Can work or live in this environment,

People just don’t know, how much these jobs posses in value

Like a carer should be paid more than a banker,

Because one looks after people and the other just money

I know what role I truly value,

But we live in a fucked up messed up society,

Where we pay those who exploit the earth

More than those who protect it by keeping it clean,

All because of greed and fucking money

This shit is getting serious, it’s not even funny,

We’ve got all of our priorities wrong

And it’s all just been going on for far to long.
