I played and was betrayed for a pittance Stayed in the parade out of persistence Gave up all charades of any resistance This is how I earned my own existence By selling myself by shelling my soul One inch of survival a day for no self determination One loaf of bread to let them make me hollow One stream of **** to shovel from this hovel I prayed for redemption stayed in this place Strayed from my potential to maintain my space Let them flay me alive till my empathy was displaced And I became a clone of their perfect human race Just a shadow self of everyone else with no voice And no real face

I played and was betrayed for a pittance Stayed in the parade out of persistence Gave up all charades of any resistance This is how I earned my own existence By selling myself by shelling my soul One inch of survival a day for no self determination One loaf of bread to let them make me hollow One stream of **** to shovel from this hovel I prayed for redemption stayed in this place Strayed from my potential to maintain my space Let them flay me alive till my empathy was displaced And I became a clone of their perfect human race Just a shadow self of everyone else with no voice And no real face
