Society’s bringing you down

It’s where you look around

            Everything you love has faded

            Everything you know is jaded

            Everything you yearn is hated

            Every feeling is frustrated

You bleed to take a stand

No one lends a hand

Injustice just prevail

All your battle fails

            Everything’s unappreciated

            No topics’ debated

            Your goals underrated

            I know you hate it

Why can’t people see

They’re not at all free

Won’t you follow me

Or will you let it be

Is it too much for cree?

Or did God damn we?

Everything tried is protested

            Everything died is invested

            Every great cause is digested

            Every antidote is untested

Like cookies in a jar

We’ll never last real far

Though we’re up to par

More blood from an old scar

Don’t know what we are

Look toward the star

Sing hooray hoorah

And laugh ha ha ha

            Cause everything you get is blinded

            No one ever stays reminded

            It’s better we all get blinded

            Maybe we’ll be better kinded

 

(Musical bridge)

 

The things we do today

Ain’t same as the old way

Things are changing fast

So we gotta praise our past

If you wanna be the hero

You gotta save yourself first

Cause if you are not in touch

You’ll end up in the worst

If you wanna innovate

You gotta infiltrate

And lack of concentration

Is your own damnation

Alternative options are hiding

Waiting to be found

Search your mind in triumph

Or never catch the sound

Search your body in triumph

Or always stay right down

 

Customs tearin you apart

Cursing at your heart

Tradition is the art

But you are much more smart

So go ahead make a start

And make them know where it’s at

 

            It starts with the pressure

            Then it gets lesser

            Compound your stature

            You’ll have a smasher

Society’s bringing you down

When you look around

Hey it’s your town

Prove that you are bound

            Everything needed is available

            Let them know you’re able

            To turn this worlds’ table

            Power to the people!
