Society March
We are only puppets on strings
Porcelain dolls they pull
For whom freedom rings
They got us by the thread
Trying to balance the beam
But were misled
They gave us direction
To perfection
But got lost on the way
Oneness and uniqueness
Were all washed away
Society is the dictator
And we are the slaves
Whatever laws they make
Without question we obey
We are taught to think big
But we are small
We march down the halls,
Us porcelain dolls
The thread is thinning;
The puppets are spinning
I hear them shout
In their forceful tone
And we must follow
"one...two...(and then comes three)
I am not allowed to be me."
Repeat, repeat, repeat.
We see no evil,
But they feed us lies
And we consume
Time after time
One must speak out
And justify the truth
You are false
Your point is invalid
No one listens to your words
Until you are dead
And your silence will become said
The thread is breaking
Time is nearly gone
Ticking away,
Just like a bomb
The porcelain is melting
Someone come help me!
Here is your destination
I hope you are ready
This ongoing march
Arrives at the same place
I hope there's enough space!
We are now finished
We are now gone
But no one remembers
Once it is dawn
Our cycle is complete
And the rest marches on.
