Blind

Post after post Chop and change Tweak this a little Blow this one up Blur that line out Upload this concept Send it out Another slur gone viral Stop. Breathe. Check my status. 1 million views. Success. I’m relevant. This is ‘the new norm’. Born from a broken culture. A virus that beat the system. Broken networks A trashed connection Where will you be when they cut that extension? Snip snip The power’s out Cut cut Our time is up. Race Wars Gender Wars Hate Wars Just enough camouflage Just enough discretion And you’ll be sucked up Consumed by all these lies you live by. Tell me what will it take For you to wake up And realise that all this time You’ve been standing in line While the potter shapes you with the clay made of that you sacrifice. Shapes you and breaks you This damned ballet. I’ve had enough I’m sick of watching this dance. WAKE UP! Smell that cheap perfume wrapped in crystal and style. WAKE UP! Throw away that cancer candy That placebo prescription Those spoils and plunder Wake up. It may already be too late. We’ve been this way so long. But wake up all the same. You’re behind the times And it is time to see That you’ve been BLIND.
