We all come out screaming
And fighting back the tears
Is this the hidden message
That will haunt our lives for years

Being slapped around by "The Man"
Right outside the womb
Picture this, the government
Doing the same to you

Like the bully in the playground
At such a tender age
Life will keep on slapping you
Until the day you cave

Pressures of the teenage years
Pounds you like a fist
Preparing for adulthood
So you best get used to it

Until the day that you bow out
You'll be slapped around
Comes the day they close the lid
And slap you in the ground
