Devil's Advocate

The devil sits on your shoulder So you’ve grown more bold This joke is past its prime Every time you open your mouth Dust pours out Your mind moldy Manufactured to fit ideals of your ancestors Lost in the pool Just part of an institution A herded sheep Told when to wake When to sleep Told when to wake When to sleep Our not my master You may think you have me beat Still I breathe Fighting for us My horns will be felt My roar will be heard
