• New Forms

No choices of our own
we've been assigned our roles from day one
Don't even know our own interests
never had the chance to discover what inspires us
Told that what we're taught in school is all
that's worthy to pursue

Interests outside of it have no value
if it doesn't motivate you
"there must be something wrong with you"
Spend all our time dedicated to the very few options given
outside of those narrow guidelines
we can hardly imagine there's anything more!

No work today and it's bright outside but you don't know
what to do now that you have your own free time
The TV has always been there to pacify
and keep you from asking "what do I really like?"

So many years of buying the lies
that through "production"
is the only way we can feel satisfied
"If you're not earning money for the system
you're wasting your time"
but what answer will we find if we ask why?

Aren't we just wasting our time
for someone else just like slaves?
Fooling ourselves that we need it
that we should enjoy it or at least accept it

Each day on the job we're being robbed!

They keep our food under lock and key to force us
to operate this machine
Slaves were used to build this civilization
surely our rules didn't want to end this tradition

It just changed forms, but we're still under their control!

Chattel slavery got too costly to provide
food and shelter for their property
[Now They]
leave that up to us and make us dependent
they don't worry about us running away because we go to them

Is this all there is to life?
Is this supposed to give me a purpose?
I would rather die than submit to that lie!
