(m)indless (T)enuous (V)oices
They tell you
what to listen to
They tell you
what to wear
They tell you
what you should believe
They tell you
when you care
They tell you
what you should eat
They tell you
how to cut your hair
Oh mindless masses
throw them your money
Ignorance is sweeter than honey
You fall for their tricks
and buy their treats
You lay down
and kiss their feet
They tell you
who you should date
They tell you
thin is in
They tell you
being dumb, being blond
is what you should become
Oh mindless masses
give them your voice
Give them choices
you should make
Fall for their lies
Believe what they say
They’ll change your mind
the very next day
