Caught in between an overwhelming sense of duty And the instinct to survive
Forced into an twisted chain of daily tortures A perilous compromise
Coiled into machine-like tension Told to ignore grueling symptoms
Birthed to slave To toil in redundancy Taught to behave To appreciate hypocrisy
Welcoming the sweet release of stupefied intoxication Finally numbing the aches of daily blood work
Kneeling down before the kings of stable economics Kissing the ring on the hand of the chief executive god
Your desire for free will is unproductive Your frustration with your life is irrelevant Work yourself down to the bone to produce nothing Give yourself unto the system till you die
Unless you take it back
Why do we bear subjugation And never dare to react? Allow our lives to be purchased With riches made off our backs Work hard, and save our nation Lies told keep us controlled Meanwhile we grow our knowledge The truest power we hold
