Society


Society has changed us

Told us how to be

Be this, be that, be different

Always saying that we're free

 

The little girls we were

Have long since disappeared

All turned into monsters-

Into everything we feared

 

That girl -- She is too fat

And that one is too thin

"Do everything we say

Go even farther to fit in"

 

Starve and hurt and change

Don't be who you are

But stay within the lines

Don't  ever go too far

 

Society is cruel

Fit in and you'll survuve

The rest are soon forgotten

Because no one's really alive
