De'moc'racy
If the freedom we seek is inside of us all
Then why does it seem that we constantly fall
I look up at the tv and what do I see
Pornographic teens and liars on screen
Industrial revolution privatized into dreams
Edgar Allan had it right
A dream within a dream forever in our sight
Cuz that’s all we’ll ever truly have
First it was white on black and then black on black
Now it’s kids on kids
Where the f **k are we at?
A nation that was great is now upside down
Liberty, Justice and Freedom sold for the crown
You see it’s a power trip and always has been
Whether it’s the Devil or human sin
We take what we please and kill in his name
The lesson we learn is we all bleed the same
I think I’m ok I think I’ll be fine
I really should say I know and not think but that is alright
I’m dark and morbid like DC Comics; I like it
My anger is energy just like a mosh pit
I wish I could’ve prevented corruption from it’s birth
And kill every mother**** who destroys this blessed Earth
Some may think I’m politically incorrect
In all reality they’re scared of the truth
They rely on the word of puppets and expect nothing less
In a culture of immoral retarded ignorant sheep, God bless
Nothing is sacred; nothing is real
We justify lies for truth and then we appeal
Advertisements psychologically used to make us think
Should we buy this? Do we need this?
I’ll piss in a PETE 1 water bottle and call it a drink
Sell it for a price that’s higher than life
That was used to make our brains shrink
In a blink of your eye and it’s gone
Kind of like the money you get on payday
It’s just the same old song
Bills hit and then it’s MAYDAY
The world is a business
And capital is its tool
What does democracy really mean to you fools?
When we the people are dumb deaf and drool
In a catatonic zombie like state
Waiting for the next big cell phone release to date
Everywhere I go people sucked into social media
Like it’s giving away free cheese
No privacy makes it even creepier
Chemically addicted narcissistic b***h please
Get up off your knees and make a real living
Do something for the world
And not just your commitments
What has happened to the human condition?
We’ve corrupted our own minds for the glory of vision
S**t but that’s just it
We were never meant to see into the future
Now we play God and act like Lex Luthor
One of the greatest criminal minds of our time
And yet we’ve learned nothing except
How nicely they shine in the wake of a lie…
Then why does it seem that we constantly fall
I look up at the tv and what do I see
Pornographic teens and liars on screen
