We keep fighting eachother for nothing
Naked we came, naked we will go
The tumults of life are restless seas
Everything is vanity! Why the hate?

Smiling faces, black hearts
Wicked world, selfish people
The dog will always be a dog
Everything is vanity! Why the envy?

Family should be a shield
Family should be a shade
Chameleons in plain sight
Everything is vanity! Why the rejection?

Strange friends, strange colleagues
Your throne they envy
With laughter, death they convey
Everything is vanity! Why the grudge?

The tears the soul oozes out
Painful than the ones we see
We suppose to be eachother keeper
Everything is vanity! Why the hypocrisy?

Positions will be changed
Power will leave you one day
Time who is powerful will end you
Everything is vanity! Why the killing?

Foolish generation, for just a brief time
Man choose to live like wildfire
Burning anything on his path
Everything is vanity! Why the wickedness?

Whatever born into this world will expire
Then let see if your deeds will inspire
The dead are crying, the grave is mourning
Everything is vanity! Why the indfference?

Judgment waits like an obedient child
The signs are all around
The days are about to clap hands
Everything is vanity! Why the selfishness?

Give me water, give me space
Lost generation, lost in competition
Live by the gun, hell will humble you
Everything is vanity! Oh! Wicked souls.
