Struggle

Look at everything you see

some of them are make believe

put inside your head and never to speak

insanity to make you think

nobody knows anything

freaks of nature living inside

to take control of the mind

no child left behind

manipulate to control mankind

in the see of the blind

threatened with punishment to keep you tame

controlled by fear to make you very afraid

of running from a capitalist prison you can't escape

designed by the malevolent and insane

corruption hides behind an innocent face

mislead with the poison in our hearts

the beauty in lies tears the truth apart

distracted by the memories that take us too far

back to the entertainment that defines who we are

just wait for another genocide to start

rights will be taken away and our chances will be gone

taken from under us it will be too late when we see what is wrong

trusting power more than we should ends with the suffering we'll endure for too long

the suffering only grows stronger and the pain never stops so the torture carries on

who makes the money from the news

who obtains the power

if we can't find the answer from what we read then we are being lied to

we are tools of war and command against our will to be used
