Eat Your Greens

A child is born and his future is clear
Money, power, struggle and fear
Work hard enough and you might reach
A place beside those that teach
Obey your masters, do as you're told
Never be happy, only grow old
Forget the times when you felt free
Ignore the questions that make you see
Losing hope of a different world
Where human spirit can't be bought or sold
Growing out of those thoughts
Embodied in the Che shirt you bought
Join the rat-race, obey the rules
Don't give in to libertarian fools
Never question established authority
Never question why you're not free
Never wonder why you choose to watch
Mindless shows upon your box
And never come to wonder why
Across the oceans children die
Eat your Big-Macs, wear your Nike
Life's too short to fight the fight
Life's too short to feel free
Life's too short to be happy
Grow and die and always know
You helped yourself,
And the system,
Grows.
