Victim of the System
You're a victim of the system
Lost inside the hivemind
You're taught to breed before 17
You're forced to be another torch that burns down my walls
You must learn all the trends, otherwise you're retarded
Victim of the system
I don't blame you, I was once in your place,
wires in my brain,
singing the same lyrics as everyone else,
Stuck in the same spotlight for years,
A brain injected with anxiety
Victim of the system
Why do you create chaos,
when peace is so close,
why do you bring guns to the knife fight,
The goverment encourages hospitality,
but uses war was a resolve tatic.
Victim of the system
If I told you, "you're not a rebel, you follow their every command." you would scream the truth out and whisper the lie in,
The pain that you cause is clouded by murky waters,
You have no voice,
except to laugh when others struggle to break free.
Victim of the system
