Society, what is it? The thing that tells us who to be And decides what we can do Tells us to be us but yet how to be ‘me’ How to live your life and with who.

Tells young girls to cover their face Even though make up makes them fake So they have to look natural without a trace Even though ‘natural’ beauty isn’t quite the take.

Maybe it’s time to disregard society And make our own decisions But we’re all filled with this social anxiety And aren’t ready to make these revisions.

As we sit here on our Apple technology And idolising Steve jobbs creation Who used child slavery to create this ideology But yet we will never change our reaction Because we’re all so full of forgiveness As we forget every sin of a celebrity But not the sins created by homelessness.

We’re tricked into believing we’re ill To buy more unneeded medication To believe we’ve got free will But we’re controlled by our nation.

Society. It tells us what’s wrong and right But says we have to defend ourself But it’s rebellion if we fight So we sit here on the lower shelf With the government sat up high Controlling our every movement And brainwashing us with a simple lie Believing we’re voting for an improvement But only seeing the options they allow.

By what standards are we judged By what standards can we pass judgement If the taxes that are dodged Require such a detrimental punishment That missing children are never found But the things that the government tell us Need to be held to the ground Because one less life no longer requires a fuss.

When schools care about grades But not about the wellbeing Because intelligence is valued higher Than an actual human being.

I need to get up. I wanna get food. I gotta exfoliate and moisturize, cause my skin looking atrocious right now.

What if… [deep breath] What if I die here, y’all? Would anyone even miss me?Like, really?

I want Enrique Iglesias to come save me. Like, the ceiling opens up and like, he comes down from like, a heavenly cloud with my glasses, and he’s singing. [imitating Enrique Iglesias] ‘Would you dance? If I asked you to dance? I will be your hero baby!’ And I just take my glasses and I’m like ‘Thanks yo! Put a shirt on homie!’

But life, life don’t work… life… [prolonged silence]
