Scribbles on Paper
Verse 1
Rules that are set
In such a distant past
Are not always relevant
And not meant to last
Verse 2
Right to bare arms
An obsession for some
Driven by paranoia
Stockpiling of guns
Chorus
Scribbles on paper
Written long ago
Most countries have them
Around which they grow
Verse 3
Old documents written
Dictate who can love
Churches are involved
Claiming guidance from above
Verse 4
Nations first peoples
Largely unrecognised
Shackled by old writings
Like slaves of old
Verse 5
Old works of fiction
Dictate our values
Open to corruption
Greed and death ensues
Chorus
Scribbles on paper
Written long ago
Most countries have them
Around which they grow
Verse 6
Writers of old
Could not have predicted
Changes in culture
That now exist
Verse 7
Burn those old doctrines
Sit down as one
No politics or religion
A new world order to come
Chorus
Scribbles on paper
Written long ago
Most countries have them
Around which they grow
