Inside the Matrix: Choose Your Pill
“What is this strange place we find ourselves in
Trapped in the open, we are free within”
On a place called earth, we live, then die -
We work, we love, we laugh, we cry.
Some have their freedom; some do not,
and some do only as they’re taught.
This Matrix sometimes seems surreal.
You need to question how you feel.
Do not be fooled by man’s deceit.
Choose what will make you feel complete.
Two pills there are. It’s up to you
to choose the red one or the blue.
The blue is chosen generally.
But does this mean you’re really free?
The blue means prison even though
so beautiful blue’s dream can be!
A rebel, I prefer red’s truth -
life’s harsher pill: reality.
