Anyone absolutely certain that they understand everything

Hasn’t lived enough to know it’s impossible to come close

Seek the good in humanity, right?

Even if it’s a struggle most times

Is hate natural or were we trained to fight like some pitbulls?

We’ve been locking jaws into each other’s backs well before Christ

Is That what it takes to survive?

Who taught us how to survive?

FuckFuck your neighbor to survive

Eat your neighbor to survive

We were hiding our faces long before pandemics arrived

Many have broken backs working for some charismatic demigods

Who raised minimum wages to build company loyalty

Watched their employees die left and right Bosses profits grew off of lost lives

As they smiled for media commending philanthropy

We’ve been glorifying wealth and greed and sociopathy

It was packaged and sold to us as the American dream

Splintered working class people to weaken our communities

Fed us our sibling’s meat and convinced us that it was healthy

Then told us that we were born free

We were born free

To kill each other as we please

We were born free

We were born free to spread incurable disease

So much history manipulated by mythology

The crowds are growing larger

Frothing at the mouth

Gasping for air

Dogs barking in unison

Bursting throats open

Though no one hears

We are all

Entrapped by fear

Of Satan and God and fascist billionaires

Of gangs, pedophiles and radicals with beards

Its Hard to calm down all of them

Reactionary friends

Making funeral arrangements

50 years before their deaths

I know it’s true

The world they knew

Has changed

And it’s strange

To face what’s new

We have been grossly underfed for

Domesticated pets

Craving love and attention

Satisfaction’s hardly met

I know it’s true

The world we knew

Has changed

And it’s painful

To face what’s new

Each Generation

Complains of the Youth

Saying things were much better then

Please Show more proof

Am i wasting my breath

Trying to Say something?

When apathy’s held me in

Captivity

With the rest of the pets

Growling at nothing

As long as we’re fed and entertained

We’ll sleep

Our brains all crave dopeAmine

Pounded by information shared endlessly

Between ephemeral memes

Sexual fantasies

Conspiracy theories

Videos of bodies

That were Killed by police

Trained to protect the power of ruling elites

No justice on these streets

Just more people screaming

Screaming screaming

Are we wasting our years

Putting faith in something

When we’ve always torn apart all that we’ve loved?

From our hearts to our arms

To movements

To families

To each other

To the planet we all live on

This ain’t no song about peace

Those are easy to sing

But hard to believe

It’s tough to trust human beings

But don’t blame us

For how we were trained to be

We were only born «free»
