What's the difference from staying in your house and being in prison? Why do we live in a culture where we are players on a monopoly board? We aren't we players forfilling our wishes or dreams? Goals and desires Where we watch coloured thirty inch screens Screens of other peoples life stories Instead of creating our own story Why do we diminish ourselves? Why are we players in someone elses dream? Fear in our advertisements Rather than freedom If this life Your life Was your only Why are you a player in someone elses dream? Cut the **** Cut all the negative **** "I want to pay bills, and work a nine to five until I die" Said no child ever The man in the suit robs you He cashed this in for the happiness of others There is a world out there 197 million square feet of it Dont chose to spend most of it in 97 feet of it the furniture of deadly comfort zones.
