Come people, look around you
See what I can see
There’s not a single one of us
Can flawless claim to be
I see a lazy man
Idling his time away
I also see a glutton
Eating night and day
There I see a gambler
Who’s gambled all his life
I also know a friend
Who’s cheating on his wife
Scores of men I see
To whom anger comes too easy
I also see men corrupt
Violent and sleazy
It aches to see a child
Who thinks that lying is fun
It aches more to see another
Handling a gun
It aches to see a teen
Who’s found a friend in drugs
It aches to hear of teens
As criminals and thugs
So many sinners and fraudsters
Everywhere you see
Oh people look around you
Look at you and me
No matter how hard we try
We can’t escape Nature’s claws
Never consider yourself perfect
All men are born with flaws
