Goin' With the Flow

Do what I’m told cuz my soul has been sold To the greedy sleazy manipulative persons Whose words are all lies, deceit, bribes and cursin’ But no need to stress because no fuss, yes-- I’m just goin’ with the flow cuz it’s all I know. Drink til I’m brain dead cuz I should, they said Forget who I am cuz I don’t have a plan Avoid thinking real for fear that I might kneel To a power higher than my physical desires-- So I’ll just go with the flow cuz it’s all I know. For a moment I see a new light, and there might be more to life I stare mesmerized at it, but I don’t think I can fit I’m not used to making rules, I’m usually just a tool To advance someone’s agenda, swallow in the propaganda... So I’ll just go with the flow cuz it’s all I know. Please understand, your opinion determines if I fall or stand I’m just afraid of being judged, afraid they’ll hold a grudge They who hold the power to my self-esteem in low esteem But still I worship the ground they walk because for me they talk... For I have no words to say and even if I did I couldn’t say’em anyway- It’s tough; this materialistic life is rough So it’s easier to put on a show and pretend that I know When all I really know is... you know-- How to go with the flow cuz it’s all I know. So I’m back to square one before I even left it I’d rather be invisible in a crowd than a visible misfit Rather be a nameless face, from memory easily erased Than to make a momentary effort of thinking graced- There isn’t much that I know Except how to keep silent and go with the flow. I’ll keep an open-mind but there’s actually strings behind I’ll text long distance on my phone but remain in my safe zone Of not thinking, not reflecting, not ever questioning why Why I’m doing, how I’m doing, should I be doing this til I die-- All I know is that I go with the flow cuz it’s all I know.
