Baby, its you vs. them. They only see The things that don't fit in That don't make sense To their enquiring They don't get There is so much more Than corporate and company And a good credit score They invest in you **** that, You're not an asset They wait to see What will you return Company car? Clinical depression? Written on your walls You quote to yourself "Money can't buy happiness" Written on their walls The days penciled in Numbers like a prison sentence They throw you their doubts All the reasons you'll fail They tell you're stupid For believing in yourself They tell you to find some Purpose, some meaning They tell you to do this From the list they have aproven   **** that **** you **** that **** They keep making you do **** that **** **** all your doubts **** your hypocrisy Of praying to God Praying that Life won't knock you down too hard Maybe you're right Maybe I'm wrong You're naive too though If you believe That this little construction Is all that you need That if you look just like Act just like Pretend just like The rest God won't pick up on your Unhappiness If you smile just right Eat just right Get paid just right Then who will know you You can't sleep at night. Surely not me, I sleep just fine.
