Knife in the Back

Do you feel alone
Disenfranchised
Destitute and defeated
I don’t have the answers you seek
But I do have a voice
And At the end of the day
You do possess
Freedom of  choice
Made by the self
Not by partisan parties
Vying for your vote
Or media
Reenforcing their doctrine and stances

Pre chorus
So raise your voice up
Against all odds
Be the individual
Be a beacon for others
Be your guiding light
Tonight, fight groupthink
Donkeys and elephants

Chorus 1

The world’s what you make it
My friends
It doesn’t have to be paved
With unanswered ends
With swelling lungs as jagged pills
Life’s a screensaver of rolling hills

Chorus 2
I’m not implying  that utopias real
bur peace could exist
Without  demo reels
Or a knife in the back
Of your free-thinking mind



Verse 2

Just close your eyes
Imagine possessing
Lenses to sift through the ****
See yourself
As a human
Of equal standing
And not as  a yes-man
Nor slave master or captain of a ship

Chorus 3


Today you’re an individual
Redeemed  of your sin
Of conformity
You don’t need to have power
To know you have a voice
And a choice
That you’ve no need
To apologize for


Bridge 2

The worlds a confusing place
But it is what we make  it
So let’s make it right
By doing right
And not just being Right

End

Don’t succumb
And be brain dead
As they wish
