Broken Oath

Squeezed into your uniform,
A worthless identity.
Obey the rules imposed upon you,
You're so responsible.
Bound to the promise of wealth,
That broken oath.
Bred to follow
The empty phrases that dictate your life.

This construct of obedience,
A meritocracy .
Isolated and forced
To this dog-eat-dog mentality.
There is no way to break these chains,
No alternate paths to walk.
The pillars of greed,
Like choking hands around our necks.

And I refuse to be abused
By those in fucking power.

I don't wanna be
A number to your statistic table.
Don't expect me to walk in line,
You are no authority.
I will not beg for a pair of chains
That will hold me down.
It's no privilege to kneel before
Your exploitation.

All your life
You worked so hard for nothing.
All this time
You sweated and you bled.
All your life
You obeyed and you followed
A set of rules
Forced upon you by vultures.
All your life
Wasted for security
And in the end
Nothing will remain of you.
Nothing will remain of you.

A world in turmoil,
Your offspring will destroy you.
Marked for death,
The puppeteers of a dying world.
Forced into coma,
So we can unshackle us
And take back
The freedom that belongs to us.
