Lyrics:

Society
so strange a concept
Born in our heads
I’ll be bored til I’m dead

Alive but that’s obvious
Taking things for granted
Abusing this planet

The fools that can stand it
Are just greedy
Give to the rich and steal from the needy

Ignore veterans
Overdose on medicine
Do only for you and go back to bed again

Negligent
That’s an accurate descriptor
Do what’s wrong and then lie with a rigor

I figure
People will justify their actions
As long as in the end they get a little bit of satisfaction

Compassion
Is given, if it’s convenient
Deceive to get ahead then brag about your achievements

Create
your ideal persona
put people in categories and music in genres

Then again
If it only helps the earth
And not them individually then it has no worth

Their purpose
Is only for self
Focus on aesthetics and material wealth

Marriage
I think you mean court
Have a couple kids to get paid child support

claim you’re grown up
get drunk throw up
listen to your favorite rapper and act like your tough

Tell the kids
To find a backup plan
cause dreams don't come true
and only work makes you a man

religion
just a way to behave well
say you’ll be saved the rest will go to hell

fuck
what’s the difference
cause the people I’m addressing won’t even listen to this

but
that’s society
full of ignorance, dividends, and a cold sad irony
