Obedience

I know the path I was given
much too aware of the road I must travel
attacked by demons disguised as saints
they are righteous in their disdain
the world is perfect
a fucking utopia
with no help for the poor
suppression is a place called freedom
yup, the world is perfect
for the ones in control

all these stepford wives
loving married life
with well behaved kids
and a big house with a picket fence
they cook and do dishes
while the man calls all the shots
I can't help but feel sad for them
I say for fuck sakes!
why are you so happy?
don't you see
you now have absolutely nothing

I seen smiles in devils
claimed they were sent by angels
God is all knowing
so tell me why is the good losing?
wonderful is the day to day
kissing and loving
touching and hugging
while the judging are figuring out
how to take it all away
with a stroke of a pin
or gun if need be

this is war
but is there any hope
when you're the only one fighting?
I once knew a man
who told me we were friends
till I heard his two tongues speak of truth
lie after lie I could see right through
realised he wanted what's mine
not by force, but with my utmost obedience
