Welcome to society

Come in here quietly,

So please feel free to be yourself.

We have no elves,

Only in the heads, they stay.

I can't really say.

Make sure here you love your body,

It'll help if you play celebrity or hockey.

Maybe we'll buy you for smiling,

Walking down the runway, styling.

Sometimes society will tear you down,

Flipping your smile into a frown,

When we tell you you're worthless,

Reminding you of all of your regrets,

When you cry, we'll tell you not to make a sound,

Then later bury you in the ground.

And then we'll cry with all the others,

People who'll pretend to be your close brothers,

Here, we can choose anyone,

And then play them like a pawn.

We'll let you have your opinion,

If possible, a single companion.

But please shape them to our views,

So we can check if they could be our muse.

Welcome to our society,

Come in the gates quietly

We promise that we won't deceive,

Since you're here, there's no way you can leave.
