Freedom?


We are free in the physical sense,

But no in the mental one.

We just don't realize it,

Not until your time on earth is done.

 

We are a slave to society,

We just don't realize it.

We are a slave to material things like fashion,

Slaves to Ralph Lauren and Versace.

 

Is that somethig you want to be?

Do what everybody elses do?

Do you want me to be like you?

Do you want to be like me?

 

I do not think so,

But hey,

That is just how life will go.

 

We always want what we don't have,

And not focus on what we do.

That is sad, but guess what?

The people you pay for these material things you want,

They'll get the last laugh.
