I was weak for a time. You almost took me in, But my faith is overriding the need to follow sin Casting off compulsion like a reptile sheds its skin, I decline to enlist in the ranks. I can never call them kin Though it seems to benefit the greater good of man, The only augment I endorse is the will to take a stand In the face of deep compression, our instinct is to give Collapsing under expectations, you will never truly live
I cannot be forced to submit I will not stand idly by I refuse to become everything I hate in exchange for acceptance in your eyes Endorsement is a poison They lap it up with pride Blinded by dependence and the pressure to comply
Two fatalistic doses were offered unto me The instruments of my demise: avarice and apathy Conditioned to the point of strain, it pains me to admit That the path of least resistance almost had me in its grip Intoxicated by the end, the means were justified Until this sick affliction could no longer be denied Excision is the sole recourse Cut out excrescence at the source Death to addicting video feeds, Long live the new hypocrisy
Convenient, concise, pushing down the price Before you know it, you’ll be chipped and flayed like fish on ice R.F.I.D.s and ads and friends and games look pretty nice When they’re packaged in a program to allay the stress of life Oblivious to missionaries of the new flesh, The parasitic zombies will consume until their last breath And yet we are the ones who cannot seem to integrate What they see is what they get and what they need will come too late
