Move, move move MOVE Where to? What for? WHY? There, here, EVERYWHERE! School, work, MONEY! Where to? What for? WHY? Buy this, get that, want EVERYTHING! Strangers, friends, PEOPLE Where to? What for? WHY? Smile, praise, talk, brag, VALIDATION! Do you see? Can you see? Will you see? Or is it me? Am I mad? That I imagine this madness around me! But Nothing can be done Change must not come For it is not what they want Reality stares But they pull the blanket over their heads Pretending until it doesn't exist Telling me this madness is The madness we can't see This is ORDER! They scream and praise But how proud can you be If you have accepted this madness as your reality

The madness we can't see
Move, move move MOVE Where to? What for? WHY? There, here, EVERYWHERE! School, work, MONEY! Where to? What for? WHY? Buy this, get that, want EVERYTHING! Strangers, friends, PEOPLE Where to? What for? WHY? Smile, praise, talk, brag, VALIDATION! Do you see? Can you see? Will you see? Or is it me? Am I mad? That I imagine this madness around me! But Nothing can be done Change must not come For it is not what they want Reality stares But they pull the blanket over their heads Pretending until it doesn't exist Telling me this madness is The madness we can't see This is ORDER! They scream and praise But how proud can you be If you have accepted this madness as your reality
