At war 
 With the crowd 
    The power to rule 
 Internal manipulation   
 At war with 
 Authority   
 Every man and woman 
 Raised to cower 
 By abuse 
 By withholding of love   
 Nothing is worth autonomy 
 Nothing is worth dignity   
 The crowd became a voice 
 For the psyche 
 The crowd became a voice 
 For superficial want 
 Of contempt 
 Emotional wreckage 
 Swallowed depression   
 The crowd became a voice 
 Of jealousy 
 Dissatisfaction   
 By abuse 
 We were made to cower   
 To be less 
 Than who we are 
 To be less 
 Than truth
