Straight Jacket Concept
i see you standing there
your straight jacket concept leaves you motionless and scared
following the trends and schemes of the well oiled machines
of a world that doesn't make much sense
the only thing you believe in is the carbon copies of copies that you see on tv
stand tall in your slick jacket
walking in step with the other mindless clones who follow your concept
worship your idle gods who continue to tell you what to do
by choking you with your dependence on every lie that they feed you
wake up! strip off your jacket and learn to walk on your own
stop living a lie and become something more than just another clone
