It fell apart at Seventeen

Spend every waking hour
in a cinder block house
taking government regulated
Tests to tell us what to do
with our next to
nothing lives

Happiness in a box
Good fortune in a pill
A lifetime of greatness, guaranteed
purchase necessary
limited time only

Go to school
learn the basis
if you can't
you will fail at
Everything that matters
is in this text book
read it all,
no sleep allowed

Got head problems?
Or just can't focus?
Take these, and BE HAPPY NOW
Pretend to be in control
You are no exception,
no matter if you're sad or "gifted"

Do just what he says
Go where he says to go
Die where he says to die
Forget about your
Family and friends
don't exist anymore
It's all about the

Economic growth,
what you should think about
from now on-
No room for fantasy and dreaming
Nothing left for creative minds
Follow the rules, or be omitted.
Pass by this percentage, or be alone
for the rest of your tiny life
