What happened to critical thinking?
What happened to thinking for oneself?
Humanity keeps on further sinking
To the point where it can’t even recognize its true self
Following along, complying to orders
It’s all a giant game of Simon Says with ever increasing high stakes
This current system, it’s full of disorders
By no one questioning anything, there’s a slew of mistakes
Day by day the collective grows sicker
Mentally, emotionally, and psychologically most notably
Distractions abound, acting as society’s liquor
Concealing how profoundly things are escalating uncontrollably
Ignorance is bliss they claim
I suppose that’s one point of view
When the flock is mindlessly led to slaughter, ignorance is to blame
It could all be avoided if only they knew
Your silence is acquiescence
Does that sit well with you?
It gives the A-Okay to subjugate you, in essence
You know, deep down, this much is true
Don’t be a mindless zombie—you have so much more to offer
Act before it’s much too late
Before things grow much too great to alter
With our hearts and minds lies the immense power to create
