about

This song is about the frustration of being a cog in the machine. This track is inspired by some of the greatest thinkers of our time. Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Jeff Ott, Morrissey, Gore Vidal, etc. In the final chorus I do pay homage to a certain English band.This is done with great respect and admiration for their work and how it has influenced my life and I hope it is viewed as such and not stealing.

lyrics

I'm so mad at the world and I'm blinded by these dollar signs, and I can't convince my foolish pride to get off of this stupid ride unharmed.

I'm so mad at myself for buying bottom rung they told me it's top shelf so I convinced myself it tasted fine.

But it was all just in my mind and my mind ain't quite right. I'm a veteran of a war inside I have yet to fight and the enemy that I perceived was right by my side this whole time.

I'm so lost in these lies and the truth they sell the masses keeps the masses blind slavery disguised as progress keeps the herd in line and it's fine.

So make sure you take your pill at the break of day and when you clock off drink our schwil and don't you ever think you ever thought you had free will because you don't.

No it was all just in your mind and your mind ain't quite right your a soldier in a war but you cannot see the fight and with the profits that you seek you'll still end up 6 feet deep and who's on top?

THE MAN THE MAN THE MAN GODDAMN THE MAN

The man he takes a piece of all your hopes and all your dreams and leaves you bloodied with skinned knees still begging for
another sip of Satan's cum another drop right in the bum and you'll think that you have won because your lips drip more

And though you say you have a mind you never seem to question why you will fight for these profits and the problems that they buy. Not another day on the hamster wheel there's no present like this time to start to fight

THE MAN THE MAN THE MAN GODDAMN THE MAN
