Get up and shower ,
Be ready in an hour ,
Work at a 9-5 pace ,
And be sure to know your place ,
Just play the part of the pawn,
And move along ,
Don't say a word,
And let society convince you nothing is wrong,
Now say it with me ,
I am free ,
Get a degree ,
Let your career tell you who to be ,
And don't let anyone see you're unhappy,
Because society needs functioning cogs in the machine ,
To keep things running good and clean,
say it with me ,
I am free,
Get married ,
Buy a house ,
Have kids ,
Be a perfect square in government made grids,
Don't question nothing unless you want to be called a conspiracy theorist ,
Just grab tight to the lies our world holds dearest ,
And say it with me ,
I am free ,
And in the streets poverty lets out silent screams ,
And wars in foreign lands echo out children's unachieved dreams,
As we sit plugged into our TV screens,
And the media twist the news until it represents what society thinks a good story means ,
You eat up the lies ,
And when it comes to to truth no one tries ,
Say it with me ,
I am free ,
You accept a false perception,
Of a bias perfection,
And believe what you're told ,
These rules are so old ,
Yet we accept them as true ,
And refuse to try anything new,
In order to be successful you gotta have a high paying job ,
Even if it makes you sad ,
Because money means more than the happiness you could have had,
Now say it with me,
I'm free
