Everybody is a Nobody

The everybodies are easily lost
In the maze of shadows and mirrors
By the blatant lies softened by comforts and Prozzac
Those who are awake are scorned, outcasted, ridiculed
Unless the stoop to the everyday level of mediocrity
O, their spirits are downtrodden, broken, lost souls
Who will save these?
Nobody

Big business brainwashes us to consume
Consume food, consume
Comsume the latest gadgets, consume
Consume art, consume
And we are the happy sheep trotting off to the slaughter
Consume life, consume
Who will save us?
Nobody

Morals, family, simple manners
Twirl, swirl, whirls
Meshing, mashing, all mushed up
It's all in the air, up for grabs
Take what you want, reject what you don't
Standards are transient, it'll all be accepted in time

But why listen to me?
I'm an everybody writing to nobody
