Cruisin'

Lost in my head, where'd I get my point of view? parents? friends? the news? muse's interviews? The more places I go the more I'm confused About what's wrong, right and ultimately the truth What things mean to me don't mean that to them Religion, ethics, values, all from a manger in Bethlehem God must've been bored to have so many pseudonyms Everything's arbitrary like a dream deep inside of REM Open your eyes, can't you see it's all just a game Oh to see through it all is sweeter than aspartame go ahead, tell me, I'd love to know your stage name? And how you cope with your self-inflicted shame? tell me more, tell me who you'd like to become let me guess, it's based on making an income? I already graduated but I'm far from an alum one thing I know is there are few rules of thumb No sir no, mostly just rules of succumb Motivations rooted in whispered expectations Force fed sedations disguised as occupations Answers to questions with no explanations Confirmation biases, no need for citations You're scared to die? I thought you had salvation? So reincarnate me into anything's offspring I'll make figure 8's thru infinity like tying shoe strings Because it's hard goin' home after seein' some things Like so many people without homes or any things Or students who walk an hour round trip to school While we argue over who can use whose stool Maybe it's Groundhog Day or always April Fools' I just wish we hadn't forgot Preschool's Golden Rule I'm withdrew yet in tune, I'm pro-world view I'm anti-GoPro, pro-Go, just choose and do Because literally you have nothing to lose Maybe this is just a case of a realist's blues Regardless, I'll be smilin' on this amusing cruise
