Don’t be a victim

Don’t be a victim

Of a archaic society

Staring at your rotting corpse in a mortuary

Wondering why you wasted life doing very litte at all

Because the system told you it would look after you

As long as you followed blindly and did what you was told

Now you’re laying on a slab rather cold and looking old

Never did fulfill your dreams or your aspirations

Ended up all alone suffering depression and privation

They took your house to pay for your care then neglected you

Dribbling and waffling incoherently was all that you could do

But vaguely you remember back when you was young

You were full of energy, passion and inspiration

But you were taught to follow rules that those on top were breaking

You were sold so many lies it was so heartbreaking

Lay the game and don’t stand out and be an upright citizen

This was all a clever trick and a distraction

To keep you in your place among the rank and file

How does it feel knowing that your whole world was defiled

So don’t be a victim

To an archaic society

Staring at your rotting corpse in a mortuary

Wondering why you wasted your life playing the systems fool

Get out there and live your life and dreams right to the full.
