This is what it takes to be free II

Turn a blind eye,
Turn your left cheek
They'd love you for that.
 
Split your legs,
It's all a game  
For monetary gain,  
Make a lot of children
They'd pay you for that.
 
They pollute the streets with drugs  
That they give you money to buy
Buy calling it social relief grants.
 
Politicians are gods
And they you make look up to one.
Give your limb  
Give your life  
It's their war they taught you to fight.
 
Stay polarized,
Never be part of the marginalized,
Toe the line,  
Stay in line  
Be a god fearing citizen  
This is what it takes to be free.

 
But start a small business
It'll fail in the first few months.
Be gay, be lesbian and you'll get branded for that.
Don't be fooled and think all the movements are for the free  
They've learnt how make money out of that.
 
It's all just twisted  
If you not Christian then you atheist.
It's for the benefit of the system
This is what it takes to be free.
 
Education is there to limit how you think,
And religion to control how you think.

 
Swipe left, swipe right.
All your time, all your likes
Are just bait  
For you to buy the shit that they sell.
 
Give away your freedom of speech,
Give away your freedom freedom of choice,
Have their chatGPT write your next speech
Think within their means
Then you'll be free

 
This is what it takes to be free.
