lyrics
Why would all ideas be valued equally?
Those proposing this doctrine are always furthest from following it.
This is who you trust? This is benevolence?
With you and your likeness oppressing the masses,
it’s no wonder things are this way.
Still it persists.
You’re trying to change the system.
You’re forgetting that the system will function according to its composition.
A pile of shit is still a pile of shit no matter how complicated the arrangement.
The mass presumption that changing lives
does not involve changing one’s perception of life.
Your condition is noone’s fault but your own.
Ego frightens you.
Your ethical basis is monstrosity. You try to suppress it in others.
You consider ego an evil while thinking nothing of it.
Your ego is you.
Still it persists.
If you feel insulted, you should.
If you feel impassioned, you should.
If you feel indignant, you should.
If you feel embarrassed, you should.
If you feel sick, you should.
If you feel pathetic, you should.
If you feel empowered, you’re human.
You’re heroic.
