Life is easy Society is hard So many complicating rules What and what not to do While being treated like tools
Education viewed as important But priced as a luxury The higher your IQ The more your laughed at Being ignorant is the new wise Punished for exposing lies Was my childhood a lie? Was I being told lies this long? If so, then jail me now Because I’ll expose it all. Society is hard
People are rewarded for lies Money handed to them on a silver platter They will do anything for that Meaningless thing to give their lives meaning But the richest ones we see are on the streets The ones that we ignore They don’t dress the part, but they can show it In their smile, in their actions They are rich in the soul, which is the greatest treasure
You tell me to be myself But then you laugh at me for doing so Then laugh at me more for hitting my all-time low
Do this, do that Follow this, follow that But I can’t follow this if I do that, But if I don’t follow this, I’ll be hated Or killed And if I do this, I’ll be hated for doing it And if I follow that, I’ll be hated for following that Society is hard
Being good leads you to the streets Showing kindness is looked down upon Education leads to bankruptcy Intelligence is shunned While nice finishes last, the cheaters have already won
I’ve been told that this is the life we live That society is life A human being is not meant to live this hell Life and this society do not go well So much death So much destruction At this rate, there won’t be anything left
There is no need for any of this The river of life has been manipulated and torn To the point no fish can swim
We must fix it Not by fixing society But ourselves, These are our lives, our river
Do what you feel is right Work together, make compromises Go with the flow
And some of you may think, you don’t Need change But that just shows how closed your river is
Open your river to change We can fix this life and we can do it One river at a time
