Take the World

A poem about our society and tall-poppy syndrome.

Hey boy take the world
Don't snatch it now
People are watching
Time doesn't go slow

You say you hate me
You say too much
You say you love me
You don't say enough

Hey boy take the world
But not the whole world
We don't expect you to
We don't want you to

They say you're getting older
They say that's bad
They say you're acting younger
They say that's bad

Hey boy take the world
If you can that is
No one wants you to rise
Everyone wants you to fall

We say don't hold back
We say too much
We say seize the day
We don't say enough

We don't say enough
