Instead of a Title (by a man too lazy to think of one)

lyrics

I gave you no authority to dictate what I do
Still you felt the need to impose your values as I grew
From early days at school you tried to shape my every thought
The importance of obedience the recurring lesson taught
But your warped value system was ignored by me and others
We rejected the standards that you tried to force upon us
You're quick with “Do this, do that” but you’d never explain why
The fact is that you couldn’t because the concept’s based on lies

The ethics put together to serve only as a prop
For a hierarchical system that keeps the power on top
To restrain imagination, repress reasoned argument
Take away people’s belief in their own judgement
Now the tide is turning, less and less accept your rules
We're no longer passive wage slaves being ordered around like mules
New laws and regulations to keep people in check
Will soon prove to elicit just the opposite effect

Ignore their selfish maxims live by your own moral code
Allow others the respect and freedom you’d like to be showed
Communicate, co-operate, support each other’s stands
Petty competition plays into the system’s hands
Help build a counter culture where we’re all on the same side
Where with every success we can all feel a sense of pride
If our quality of life is ever going to be enhanced
We'll have to stick together, just to get the chance
