materialistic makeup

My generations at a hold up

Force fed lies by society

We're never gonna grow up

Preoccupied with what we need

We subconsciously become devoured by greed

Insecurity is at the bottom of consumption

"You need ____ to succeed"

We're the last of a dying breed

Materialistic makeup

Our genetics have mutated

We're no longer able to wake up

From the nightmare we've created

Identification has taken a new definition

You are what you posess

Unaware the latest trend is only repetition

Sheltered by our ignorant need

Progress is our main goal

Yet we're unsure of how to proceed

So instead we proclaim our need for change

While spending the last of our common sense

On a fee to enter this stage

Which acts as our cage

Locking us into society's game

It's the final act

Our last chance to fame
