Imitation

Imitation of  love and self by another

it could be the example of a mother

Imitation there’s a name for it

once we have time Imitation we ignore

it when it’s all rough that child grew up

I’ve had enough Imitation the violence we suffer

Can you see yourself in that child that grew up

Depends on the outcome we’re all so vain

Imitation it’s TV influence media and stuff

We cut out the bad pretend it’s another

Do we really care that much

Imitation this guns drugs for everything else

Lawyers to rely upon when in doubt

Blame the next generation I hear them shout

They pass the parcel rather than the blame

Imitation sometimes it just isn’t good enough

Copy the masters they look just the same

Stick in on a wall in a picture frame

Imitation we smile like an old mirror

Our reflection looks back children smother

When all we have to do is let them grow up
