Think Again

So, you deem yourself smart Your knowledge unbeatable Your background impeccable You believe you have what it takes To change the world, mend the wrongs With a sharp mind and a bold voice Nothing will remain untouched After your words have been spoken Revolutionary ideas, remarkable intuition But I have some bad news for you You are not wanted In a world of distorted ideals Where mediocrity is proclaimed perfection And ambition is labelled as greed You glorify your freedom But the chains are tied to the bone Slave to a system that wants you to fail Intelligence and honor Excellence and peace Are meaningless words, parallel to reality Don’t get me wrong, you can win If you are willing to accept Some blood on your hands Some knives in your back Some mud in your face Are you strong enough To open your eyes and see the world for what it truly is With the suffering and fear Hypocrisy and facades Can you smell the stench of rotting integrity The corpses of dignity The last remains of humanity I am not threatening you I am pleading you to think again
