Lyrics

Born selfish and ignorant
Abd my school gave me knowledge
But never any wisdom
And in addition the television programmed my brain
Through it's constant repetition
Misdirected infected with mundane roles and goals and heroes
And althought life really has purpose
I wasted my youth in a social circus
Told what is best for me
But I've seen their destiny
Our leaders ignominy
Reconfirm my concern to rearrange and change my life
I'll vow
I'll vow right here
And now no more time wasting just edification purification
We can direct our future
This life, this life has no meaning
Unless we grow
I know there's no use for all this screaming
Unless we grow
Born foolish dull and shelf absorbed
But my life's dedicated to reformation and education
In a nation that thinks great pleasure is a disney vacation
I never fit in to their system
I couldn't understand people
Wasting their time with so called love
And ddrugs and occupations
While outside the window is a crumbling nation
So I searched for sincerity and lost popularity
Well what do they want from me?
If I lost friends they never were my friends at all!
To find the real me through introspection
And austerity is my life's mission my ambition
I've got a vision to change my destiny
Things don't change - we must change
