When I was young

I thought I'd be

An untethered man of integrity

But if there's one thing

That life's taught me

It's that nobody wants you to be freed

Now and then

I'll try to see

All of the things that you saw in me

Before my heart grew cold and my mind emptied

And I learned we're just cogs in a grand machine

Sometimes I wish I could turn back time

And tell myself it all turns out fine

But I'm afraid that would be a lie

When everything about his dream has

Gone away

Gone away

Gone away

Gone away

Well is there hope

Well I wish I knew

Don't let the marketing guru's sell it to you

But don't try to run

Don't try to fight

Embrace your pain

Because to get through life you must

Grow through pain

(Gone away) You've been brainwashed into thinking that spending eight hours of your day doing meaningless bullshit

For a company and government that doesn't give a fuck about you is the best way to live life

(Gone away) Going around sucking company cock for what? A promotion? Why should I want a promotion?

So I can make more money for a world that devalues families in pursuit of self centered

Individualism?

(Gone away) No fuck that, I want something more! Something better for myself!

I want a good future, I want a just world, I want a family

(Gone away) I want meaning, I want sanity!

And love, most of all love. Let us usher in a new world of truth and justice, not one

Where our tax dollars go to pedos and murderers! In Jesus' name, a-fucking-men.
