Power Over Me

You used to have power over me You used to have power over me Seeing your face pleased Was all that'd let my mind be Jobs and relationships once so consistent Loyalty and honesty have floated into the distance Is it just aging Doesn't seem like the world should be changing In this direction Droughts of affection with floods of computation Robocop evaluates your ritzy neighborhood Gangsters regain their territory in the hood Always thought by now life would be a dream World is a pair of pants ripping apart at the seams Looking into a politicians eye There's just a blood splattered lie Why on earth should I vote I'll just shop elsewhere and let your funding company die I understand I look young, You have no idea what I've done Talk to me like an adult Those gestures and expressions are an insult Just because I have no child Doesn't make my emotions mild Doesn't mean I don't have problems I don't whine, I find ways to solve them Don't assume because I don't have a degree That I'm not a pedigree A degree means you can follow rules and deadlines You can use a crayola and stay within the lines Tap your head... Think for a second All this money later Is this the best way to thank your creator? To get a job for a major company That sooner than later will dump you and destroy Your dreams and want you to change your values Where work is more important than family? Not exactly! Your doubt in me is coming out of your pours. Flush your ego, Try to jump that hurdle of yours Oh wait, need a book? Flip to page nine Tells you you've kicked your own behind
