Lies From Society

"It's time," they say "to take flight, be free!"

But it must be a lie because they are holding from your cage the key

They paint on you a smile that makes you look like a clown

But when it rains from your eyes they wonder why you frown

They ask "what is wrong? We've given you so much!"

Because you flinch at the littlest of touch

This is society

They are saying "please come in!"

But when you try to play fair with them you'll find that you won't ever win

This is society

The people that you try and trust

But they beat you down

And try to make you feel guilt and sin and lust

This is society

They beat you to the dust
