We work as we’re told
We do as we’re told
We obey
We comply
But what for
We as used and abused
Like we’re commodities
By a society
That discards us when done
There is no loyalty
Except to big businesses
And money
Yet they us too invest ourselves in
But it doesn’t invest in us
It pays us a pittance
To help cover the bills
That keep rising
They show us no love
They don’t care
They won’t share
Throw us on to heap
And hope we will follow them
Just like sheep
Be good little boys and girls.
We need a system that puts people first
Beyond their corporate needs
We need more visionaries
Philosophers with dreams
We need more ideologists that think
Of big goal on long term dream
Less corporate types who think much shorter term
Who fixate on profit and money
Short term goals that just use
Exploit and abuse
And leave in their wake such a mess
They are feeding and their breeding
Discontent, resentment
Destroying faith
In society and in people’s hopes and dreams
We need more, deserve better
We need change.
Invest in the people
Invest in their lives
Give them more of a share not less
Of the profits you make
And the money you earn
Off the backs of Blood sweat and tears
Or this system will turn
This system will burn
Like the world
If you do not learn
And return
Rather than just take.
