Quest Beyond Convention

Surprisingly the sides we choose
And pretend are for protection
Are designed to be dividing groups 
Accepting large deceptions
So remind me please what I should do
Consent to all corrections
Far as I can see no lives improve
Except when on consensus
They try to keep each side aloof 
Preventing our Ascension
Them trifling thieves inside their rooms 
Assessing our contention
To oblige their need to hide the truth 
Or address their dark intentions
Until we line the streets and decide to move
For a quest beyond convention

Spend a billion dollars to get the boss elected
Won't fix one of my problems unless it's cost effective
