I didn't ask to be pulled into this world Ripped out of the quiet and comfort of the womb To be branded and twisted into what they want Another mindless worker, another dollar They want you to think life is about work It's not, life is about LIVING The sadness I see in a crowd is unbearable Everyone longs to free themselves Of these heavy shackles of society So tell me, fellow beings How do we break free?
