whatever happened to natural selection?
whatever happened to 'let the good times roll'?
whatever happened to the rainbow connection?
whatever happened to "god will save our souls"?
whatever happened to romance and my stance on
women
and men
and anything in between
whatever happened to growing up and getting old
and waiting 'til our kids are eighteen?

let's get away from every day
society

they say,
do this, do that, don’t get bad grades,
and don’t choke on our beliefs as we shove them down your throat
do this, do that, don’t fall asleep
don’t fall asleep, don’t fall asleep.

let's get away from every day
society

wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up,
wasn’t that a nice dream to get you through the day?
‘til you can go home, and smoke a bowl
then forget who and where you are, and what to say

I can’t escape, I can’t escape,
From society, it’s after me
They’ll steal my hair, they’ll steal my germs
And use my DNA to clone me

What will they do? What do they want?
Why have they installed cameras in my jeans?
What will they do? What do they want?
Why have they installed cameras in my genes?

What’s wrong with me? Am I losing my shit?
Do I even have shit to lose at this point?
Someone help me, someone give me pills
I DON’T CARE WHAT KIND OF PILLS, THEY’RE AFTER ME

they say
suicide is a long-term solution to
short-term problems but I tend to disagree
because
all my problems, they’re not with me
they’re with society; I swear they’re not with me

blame society,
just blame society
tear the system down,
and fuck the police

I won’t change to be
what you want me to be
I want to just be me
oh god I must get free
