Fool

FOOL
Quantify a simple mind
Amoeba of the human kind
What kind of species are you
You fit into this zoo
Void of subjective view
Drowning society of fools
Inflicted with little intellect
Gormless not self-aware of yourself

Fight

FIGHT
Do you remember the first thing you fought for
Win or lose you felt free
With that struggle it has always turned into them or me
I may not be the loudest
I’m definitely not the strongest
But back in a corner I’ll stand my fuckin’ ground
Fight for everything you are
Fight for an opinion an ideal
Fight for everything you believe in
Fight for what you have and what you want
You cast the die so long ago
It’s not really a game of chance anyhow
Stand your ground don’t turn and run
Don’t apologise to anyone
Fight a system that drags you down
Don’t fit in just to please someone
Stand up tall and look ‘em in the eye
You won’t change for anyone

Throughput will be Down

THROUGHPUT WILL BE DOWN
Backwards, bloated and very impaired
Braindead, habitual and staring into space
Confused, red faced and ignorant
Struggle to maintain impartiality
Absent of mind and curiosity
Opinion not there, not even rhetoric
Inept regurgitated company talk
Struggle with brain activity
The Company
Communicate means segregate
Announce your ignorance
Fairness and equality
Buzzwords with no meaning
Abbreviate, contradict and compare
Graph chart, percentage, megalomania
Lost in mechanics of lethargy
Mindless automatons, rituals, not free

Struggle with Momentum

STRUGGLE WITH MOMENTUM
What do you want me to say
It coulda been a different way
It was already fucked up from the start
Perspective, angles and design
Stability decline
Blind in proximity
They are not the options
Pain and joy foundations
Laying memories not in line
Solid is not constant
It struggles with momentum
Quandary struggle in time
Struggle with momentum
