Stand Out

Maybe its time i spewed my guts,
Society, the thing that keeps us all in line? 
ha, yea right, its just another draw back in this thing called life. 
All the posters, the billboards, the commercials, and press
Don't you realize, its creating a standard for which we all dress.
Not a creative mind springing to life, no not this time, 
just more drones falling into the pattern of social inclines. 
Children beg for phones, and cars,
Parents dish out money, and teen beauty stars,
Don't we have our own minds anymore? 
Not a soul willing to break the chain?
well not again, not today, im not standing for this
Ive been programmed to fall astray.
