Escape From Freedom

What is sane about this play
Trapped in boxes but getting paid
Where's that consent that we gave
Folie à millions big charade

Blame our nature to relate
To submit or dominate
Social reason rules the land
Escape from freedom hand in hand

The pain shakes the body in a wave
Trying hard to leave the cave
Puppet strings attached to you
Playing the master and the fooled

What is sane about this play
Born to die but getting paid
Where's that consent that we gave
The unifying big charade

Concepts made to brace the norm
Adding value to its form
Human reason rules the land
Handing truths from hand to hand

The pain shakes the body in a wave
Trying hard to leave the cave
Puppet strings attached to you
Playing the master and the fooled
The helping hand to always land the coup

The only rule in this game
What makes you sick makes you sane
Our arrangement's terrible fate
A life subscription to the fact that there is no escape
