What is the point of power wealth or control
Seems to me it's just about selling your soul
Those of us who are just content to be
Live happier lives of harmony
Playing the game that's presented round and round
Removes the simple pleasures and joy to be found
Comparing your life to wealthy or famous
And all the social beliefs that try to shame us
Is a projected lie meant to tame you
Keep you corralled and chained to their view
The game is designed with many pitfalls
Like an intricate maze with many dead end walls
The game is set up and put in place
From the moment your born and enter the race
Everything about it enforces the notion
That you must go along with it's commotion
It teaches you to only behave in a certain way
Tends to ridicule and ostracize those who don't obey
More and more people are waking through the noise
Seems the game is getting louder and just annoys
A desperate attempt for total control
Feels like the game is going to fail at it's ultimate goal
Lifetimes of planning coming to waste
It needs to all end with a bit of haste
This is the dawning of a golden age
Time for humanity to break free of it's cage
