lyrics

i am growing in aggression towards all of my possessions
and i'm feeling, agitated in regards to education
i have always been aware, of this system that we live in
but today, it's it me harder than tsunamis hit the beaches
if you watch an episode of this series of your life
would you cry, if you saw you're watching tv every night
feeling feelings for the victims in a show thats based on fiction
with unrealistic depictions and no admirable convictions

if tv don't tickle your fancy, there's plenty of other addcitions handy
buy some stuff or snort some stuff
until distractions just aren't enough
buy a phone you won't need friends
they're all out there spinning interwebs
work all day
till you get paid
then go and piss it down the drain

my mum always told me to finish my food
but i don't want my freedom fed to me on a dirty spoon

i found the answers to my dark labrinyth that sits within
the worst thing isn't inside where this begins
we're branded on our arses from such an early age
and we're born into a world
in which everyone's a slave
and the teachers lock us up
to the confinements of a cage
and then they swallow down the key
and then they tell us to behave

my mum always told me to finish my food
but i don't want my freedom fed to me
on a dirty spoon

i saw a selfish boy take up two seats on the bus
but the bus was overflowing, full of people standing up
and i wanted to correct this, i wanted to shout
but conformity was sworn to me
and i couldn't move my mouth
we;re not all alone, that's what they wnt you to believe
if we spread the eggs around
if we help to plant the seed
if we don't see everything as our own property
then we might have a fucking chance to actually be free

my mum always told me to finish my food, but i don't want my freedom fed to me on a dirty spoon
