No Longer the Victim
Associates come by the dozens
Friends accumulate in fewer denominations
From a gentle hand, to a revenge fueled fist,
we learn sturn but valuable lessons
Influenced by network television,
attempting to embrace every individual that approaches
What is untold, is the story of disloyalty
Preoccupied with being accepted
I think it's time we live free of consequences--
Free from any burden tethered to our ankles
Break the shackles that confine us to modern day society
