what do you desire to be

perception is reality

now what do you desire to be?

just look at the absurdity

our media drives ardently

well can you feel the peer pressure

and religion the oppressor?

they call us slackers, but we stress,

"our generation wants progress."

...yet we're riddled with student debt

for many, poverty's a threat

we're overqualified indeed

"brew coffee for corporate greed"

let's burn up those fossil fuels quick

so a collapse can make us sick

high GDP, terminal health

addicted to power and wealth

our generation will decide

how to evoke great change worldwide

with a whimper or bang you said

how is it that the world will end?

perception is reality

now what do you desire to be?
