Out of Control
Created from society
Controlled substance of what we should be.
Don't do that.
Be bright not flat.
You're this you're that.
Close your eyes don't think to much.
If you get to high they'll use your crutch.
We are but pieces in a game.
Don't show too much hide your flame.
Our intelligence based on a test.
Get an A without common sense.
Dress yourself in what we show.
Don't drive to fast don't drive too slow.
We are but animals in a cage.
At least we can write on a page.
Don't let them dull you.
Don't follow along too.
Be yourself open up.
Don't drink the poison in the cup.
Watch everything don't be a sheep.
For we are feeding from the government's teet.
Don't let yourself hang by strings.
Their little puppet the money, their kings.
Break the walls.
Mute the calls.
Stare straight through them all.
Break the mold
You'll have to be bold.
Don't follow in traffic
Make sure you craft it.
Take your steps.
Make a mess.
Shine that light
Your individual bright.
