Our cruel species, man, just sociopaths and politicians
I'd like to believe that I can change society
I know that I can't though, I can merely go along with it
Eventually society will change me, as it does to everyone
Desensitized to the violence and greed, society is a beast
And morality is its helpless victim, it dies in all of us eventually
We are all chewed up only to be spit out, twisted and confused
Ideals and morals do not last, only to be replaced
Spit out violent and greedy, just another puppet
We all become the beast's little puppets eventually
No matter how hard we try to fight, it is inevitable
The harder you fight the harder you fall, there is no escape
The only comfort in this is knowing at the end, we die
There is no noble death, just the death of a spineless shameless pawn
A pawn is all we are, easily replaced, not to be taking seriously
And when we die, the beast will take yet another soul
This is societies real face, I have seen it, and I want nothing of it
