A person before you, a person behind,
conditioned to view it as a chain within your mind
a chain of command, set up to tie your hands
You're at the top of your game or at the bottom of a heap,
the middle is the end and there's no in between
well what does that say about the rest of us,
I think they'd like it if we all just gave up
what if we decided we were gonna give a fuck
about ourselves
you can say I matter, I'm human, I'm evolved and I'm resolved
to live a life in the absence of reality television and
some guidance counselor's template for success
and say
don't fucking tell me what to do.
