Corporate America
since I was so very young,
everyone I knew told me I could be.
part of a bigger personality.
part of the world,
part of civilization
to become the man you're supposed to be.
will I get there?
will it be pretty?
will I fit in, real nice?
will it accept me?
and will I do good?
I could make a change,
I'm certain!
now that I'm older,
the future looks bitter.
things aren't what they were..
Business suits,
and political disputes.
burden the air with grief.
where will I fit in?
what could I do?
to make this feel like home?
Everyone's, angry
and caught up in business.
no ones looking for a change.
could I make a difference?
could I change it at all?
I don't see the skies, anymore.
we've lost our good nature, and been bruised and beaten.
we're afraid to fight back,
to have something different.
we're terrified, to lose everything again.
when I was younger,
I dreamed I could change,
be a part of a bigger plan.
now the worlds given up,
and we're a corporation.
mass producing us all.
We're one of the same, and
we won't fight back!
a political pawn,
to be used.
we're through with our fighting,
we'll do what you want.
you'll never hear from us again.
