i don’t understand it
why the reprimanding
we built this system to last
not to liberate you
we built this system to bypass
what weighs on you
we built this system so you
have nothing to stand on
so
chill the fuck out
the more you sit back
the more you relax
the more you sink
deeper in dreams
away from the facts
sit the fuck down
the deeper you sink
into uninspiration
we built this system on
your lack of participation
but enough with the bland abstraction
fact is we wanna keep you in fractions
brass tacks cash bail keeps the jails packed in
i mean the whole idea
is to keep you reacting
and this is our fatal attraction
stockholm syndrome
in its last act
insane how enraged you can be
and not notice
you reaching for retail therapy
don’t it feel good?
you got it made
don’t
fault me again for the bed you’re sleeping in
at least you have a bed
(chalk that up as a win)
better yet
let it set a flame beneath you
let the fear of losing what you have
let nothing reach you
i know
it’s a lot to take in
that’s why we didn’t want you hearing anything
so put your head back down
or keep it up in the clouds
enjoy that fancy leather up from the amazon
be proud
