You stood before the monolith of human creativity.

You drank from the wellspring of intellectect and reason.

You dug into the mine shaft of scientific progress, and

All you got were cubicles, desk jobs, and heart attacks.

Mickey D's, Starbucks,
Viacom, Walmart.

Pizza Hut, Subway,
CBS, Hallmark.

BUY IT! BUY IT!
BUY IT! BUY IT!

Know you wanna,
Don't deny it!

Gotta have it!
NEED to try it!

Feel it pull?
You can't defy it!

(and a voice beckons)

"but..."

"My soul, it slowly withers,
"I've become a hollow vessel, and
"My mind is torn asunder, by
"These demons that I wrestle,

"...and sometimes

"I wonder feverishly,
"If I'm the only one,
"Who can see the world,
"Unravel, as we're chasing
After fun."

Leads to...

******, Xanax,
Klonopin, Prozac,

Welbutrin, Zoloft,
Big pharma, knows that

You don't need to think,
The more you think,
The less you work,

Obama's drones are
Bombing Pakistan, but
LOOK AT ******* TWERK!!!!!!
