Rule Yourselves

Who are you to punish me? Karma determines my fate
Not you the system, who put me in this mental state
I did not choose to do this, why abuse myself
you choose my future, you chose my past, I say I rebel
How dare you try to control me, I know what is best
You think you’re better than your citizens, give your ego a rest
You need we for the future, but don't expect to get us
We have perspicacity; we'd rather die than be robots
