Society Rules
v
We all want to be independent
Yet no one can make it alone,
Most of us think we are in control
But how much of your life is your own.
Born with genes from your parents
Raised to obey their rules,
Brought together to learn the same lessons
Within overcrowded schools.
Once you become an adult
You can finally go your own way,
Now you can think what you like
But the law restricts what you can say.
We argue with someone’s opinion
get our knowledge from a machine,
Have no more trust in people
But believe what we see on a screen.
Even religion has limits
You’re told where and when to pray,
To me homage is a personal thing
I prefer to do it my way.
