A Million Ways and Endless Desires

Just like sheep n' dogs
We do what we're told,
No mind of our own,
Vision from television,
Our thoughts n' beliefs
Hijacked by the norms
They've been shoving down our throats.

Time to give in to their products,
Their drugs, their addictions,
What they want ya to think,
Burning images of your past
Watching your memories fade,
Thinking you got control of your life,
Thinking of a million ways to keep loved ones happy,
But in the end,
You bow down to the same flag,
The red, white n' blue,
That put fear in the innocents,
And destroyed the lives of millions,
We continue to believe in
A cycle of hatred n' obedience;
A cycle of conformity n' assimilation.

We are dogs chasing our own tail,
We are cattle following the pact to destruction.

Low wages for the hard workers
Improving the land,
Higher wages for those destroying
The lives of the lower class,
The economy is declining,
But not enough for athletes to demand less,
Greed, greed, those filthy motherfuckers,
Everyone says they care,
But only when their profits hit a wall,
No one gives a fuck
When they're stealing from the poor,
When others are starving and killing themselves,
We just want more n' more,
We want it all,
Only satisfied when our pockets are full,
Some call themselves religious,
But only pray to their fictional God when they want something,
When they desire someone,
The devil in disguise,
Nothing is pure, nothing is gold,
The land is mine as much as its yours.

We want change,
But we fail to do it ourselves,
We want too much
Because we are never satisfied.
