You think you've got it all figured out
You understand life and what it's about
But you only know what your told
Society offered understanding
You were bought and sold
Crammed and twisted to fit a rigged mold
Sure you know yourself
It's easy when your the same as everyone else
With your pointless attempts to make a name
In your quest for individuality
You all are the same
Yeah you can think your own thoughts
But language's web has got you caught
Meaningless words describe your deepest emotion
On a hunger strike, you drink society's potion
You claim to be a rebel by definition
It's like having a gun without ammunition
As you express yourself through how you appear
You might as well cut off your ears
Cuz your wake up call has passed by in silence
Still you dream on
Clinging to common sense
