|
Strive, strive, surmount the obstacles |
|
Become the essence of your goals |
|
Hereditary dream |
|
Pray that you may attain that destiny |
|
Fall into the coveted line |
|
Where life is but a theme |
|
Of pretense in lustrous guise |
|
Claims and values |
|
Charts of means and status |
|
Plaques to show your strife |
|
Do your neighbour clones approve |
|
Picture perfect illustration |
|
Imitation of life |
|
Where the path is evened out |
|
All obstructions removed |
|
Great viable citizen |
|
Are you happy now? |
|
Then praise your God and bow |
|
Shimmering surface |
|
The gleam of blinding lies |
|
Become the product |
|
The thing you so desire |
|
To what length would you go to reach your goals? |
|
What mantra will you use to justify your means? |
|
Who will you betray to secure your dream? |
|
What sins will you commit to avoid your sins be seen? |
|
Do not look down |
|
Do not look down |
|
Or the abysmal beast of non-conformity |
|
Might stare some unpleasant truth |
|
Into your desensitized mind |
|
Shimmering surface |
|
The gleam of blinding lies |
|
Become the product |
|
The thing you so desire |
