Blindly accepting the mediocrity
We’ve been fed by society
Ridicule all that dare
To escape the monotony
Of a life beaten down
Hopes crushed without a sound
They've done it to me
and they're doing it to you
Can you not see the truth?
This can’t be all there is
Succumbing to your peers
All hope will not transcend
This is not the end
The future’s fucked, the future’s bleak
When people are afraid to speak
Go through the motions, accepting fate
To that outlook I can’t relate
Close your eyes, go back to sleep
Count yourself in amongst the sheep
When you wake, you’ll wonder why
You wasted life falling in line
This can’t be all there is
Succumbing to your fears
All hope will not transcend
This is not the end
How many times can I write this song?
I don’t believe and I don’t belong
In this clichéd mentality,
Your way of life seems redundant to me
What happened to staying true?
What happened to being you?
Forgotten what you stand for
Now another faceless bore
Trade your soul to gain some respect
Destined to be another reject
You have no pride
