They don't want you to change.
No one wants you to be a better person.
Not your friends, nor your love,
nor your parents, nor your teachers.
They have caught themselves in this descending spiral,
of money, power, fear and pleasure.
We have caught ourselves in this descending spiral.
No one can help you but yourself.
They don't want you to change, they merely want you to function
according to what they think is right.
They don't want you to take a road less travelled by
and thus make all the difference.
They don't want you to change.
No one wants you to be a better person.
Not the pope, nor your boss,
nor your guru, nor your leaders.
They like to be mechanical.
No one wants you to change, they merely want you to function
according to what they think is right.
They don't want you to take a road less travelled by
and thus make all the difference.
(They have nothing real about them. And getting so tired of playing society's game, playing your inner game... getting so weary of that, that right in the middle of it you throw down the cards regardless of what they're going to think about you.)
No one wants you to change, they merely want you to function
according to what they think is right.
Please be safe, have a job and lots of money,
stay in line, don't be a fool, follow the rules and you'll be fine.
Just kill someone, don't even bother what that is you will become,
and just forget about that last shred of humanity inside your head.
(You won't want anything to do with their game, you have something far more too important to do which is to find yourself and to live your own life. Stop throwing it away to those people who are stealing it.
Stay home and learn to live your own life. Stay home and be real. Stay home and be at peace. Stay home and find the real purpose of you being here on earth.)
