Lyrics

No choices of our own, we've been assigned our roles from day one
Don't know our own interests, never had the chance to discover what inspires us
Told that what we're taught in school is all that's worthy to pursue
Interests outside of it have no value,
if it doesn't motivate you, "there must be something wrong with you."
Spend all our time dedicated to the very few options given,
outside of those narrow guidelines, can hardly imagine there's anything more!
No work today, it's bright outside
but you don't know what to do now that you have your own free time
The tv has always been there to pacify
and keep you from asking "what do I really like?"
So many years of buying the lies
that through "production" is the only way we can feel satisfied
If you're not earning money for the system, you're wasting your time
but what answers will we find if we ask why?
Aren't we just wasting our time for someone else just like slaves?
Fooling ourselves that we need it, that we should enjoy it, or at least accept it
(each day on the job we're being robbed!)
They keep our food under lock and key
to force us to operate this machine
Slaves were used to build this civilization
surely our rulers didn't want to end this tradition
It just changed forms, but we're still under their control!
Chattel slavery got too costly to provide food and shelter for their property
[Now they] leave that up to us and make us dependent
they don't worry about us running away because we go to them
Is this all there is to life?
Is this supposed to give me a purpose?
I would rather die
than submit to that lie!
