Tenet

as soon as you can walk and talk

they send you off to school

you’re brainwashed and moulded

into another bloody fool

and when they’ve finished your schooling

you’re expected to go to work

with a head full of useless nonsense

another wage slave jerk

<>

work consume be silent and die

ingest ignore obey comply

ignore conform never ask why

work consume be silent and die

<>

you’ll get married at twenty one

to a mortgage and a wife

both will slowly suck away

the best part of your life

screaming kids will fill your home

while futility fills your head

waiting away on the train each day

the suburban living dead

<>

now every day is just one more

a blur of moments standing still

and every way has been done before

and life’s just time to kill
