The "State" of Kuwait

Hypocrisy and Corruption live here
Pride, Patriotism, Hope you have left me
Parliament deaf to our pleas for years
A myriad of youth carry on blindly

Obsessed with their iPods obsessed with their
Ray Bans obsessed with their Marc Jacobs shoes
To be myself in Kuwait I would not dare
I'm forced to live a life I did not choose

I walk cautiously through these daunting streets
Another piece of flesh in predators eyes
Miserably secure so when freedom speaks
My heart trusts but my mind grudgingly denies

Friends, Family, and Strangers I will deceive
For this country I can't fix, change, or leave

lovely. i like the last part, but there are friends that you can't deceive though, coz they're in the same shithole as you. <3
