controller

how can we breathe so easily

if we're smothered by our souls

being changed by unfamiliar souces

who make up the leading roles

 

why do we have a queen?

if she is just as equal as us?

why can she eat so much caviar?

why doesn't she take the bus?

 

why are we stuck in this routine

of working for others wealth

to make a rich man richer

and starve us of our health

 

they tell us what to eat

what to look like

what to wear

 

they're the cause of insecurities

but now you know they'll never care
