Decimate who I am
Despite your lack of knowledge, you over analyse
You think you know all of the answers
I just laugh and smile
One of those people, so conceited
Just stop it now
I'm not your pet project
I'm not some cuddly toy

Try to find a place in my head
That you haven't ripped apart
And left for dead
Dare to question my goals and my aims
I never faltered or tried to settle

They say to play nice
Accept things as they are
Here are the rules son, don't you go against the grain
The type of man with, a different point of view
The will chart the map of life, in my own way
Looked down on by those who play the game
A jury of sheep who think they know what's best for me
I've heard it all before, way too many times
Your lack of ambition will not influence me
I know where I want to be
This road is never going to be easy
I know I might not change your mind
But who says I need your approval?

Streetwalker who seems to think he's cool
With a walk like a gallagher, he's really a fool
Snort that victory line
Always chasing more
It's not you my friend, of course it's not
The whole world is wrong, it's not me either
Don't look to me for affirmation
I'm not the answer
It's only you now
You dug this hole yourself
Everyone's laughing, you're not as smooth as you think you are
Listen to the whispers, you just might miss us
Mr Laughing Stock, god damn we all see through you
There isn't more to you that meets the eye
It's just everyone else

People tell me sunshine, will fix my broken soul
That's so simplistic, it's a lie we're all told
I wish it could be so easy, I wish I could feign a smile
We need the rain to give us fortitude, then the sun will make me smile
I don't need your platitudes
Sayings and old wives tales
For every failure I endure
I find my own meaning there
I am capable of independent thought
I don't need a lecture every day
People tell me stupid things like
Don't be sad
Did you really fucking think
I didn't think of that
Hey buddy
Hey guy
I'm not you friend, guy!
I'm not your guy, buddy!
We want privacy!

It's not even satire anymore
I miss the nineties
I miss not having a phone
I miss the fantasy of film and TV
I miss the absurdity
When even South Park seems
Like normality
When the world is too far gone
It's not even satire anymore
How can we satirise a world in which logic has failed?
It's not satire anymore
Elevate the morons to unhealthy scales
Just an empty vessel to sell you something else
I did choose this, I did not cast my vote
Give me the illusion of free will
Let's all pretend it's there
I'm held to ransom by culture
Chained by others beliefs
Polarised by your so called friends
Staunchly left, absurdly right
Where's sanity got to?
Reset the simulation
Every last one of us is brainwashed
Don't pretend that you're not
We have owners, you have owners
George Carlin knew...
