Iâve created this environment in which I can be truly free of âsocial normalcyâ
An anarchy of thought in this unrelenting brain Iâve got
It started out so beautifully, but now it tortures me; everything I see looks like shit to me
It stems from corporate greed - the profit incentives of wealthy executives
All my friends are filled with chemicals spoon fed by rich assholes
Trying to save a buck, but itâs just my luck to get caught in the middle of this cluster-fuck
Capitalize me
Incentivize me
Please give me a reason, give me something to believe in
Iâm so sick of being stuck in my head and I want to be dead â I am alive just to sleep
Just a piece o the pie, thatâs all I ask
When I die you can have it back
Look at me, crying on my knees; fucking bloody teeth
The wheels of the system keep turning and spinning
And grinding and burning
And forcing me down to my knees
A world where the well-to-be are void of all sympathy
I can't live like this, I can't live like thisâ¦
If I had the means I might change a few things
But I don't, so I let the gears spin out of control
Weâre all alone in this but we do not have to be
This awful place gets smaller every day
And I donât know what to do, and I donât know what to say
This horrible place gets smaller every day
And itâs closing in on me.
I feel it closing in on me.
Fatten my wallet and make me free
I want to be like everybody else I see
I want to fight my way up, I want to step on heads
I want to build my wealth at the expensive of my equals.
I want the American dream.
