Revolt
A song to the system
You’ve got me locked down,
Nowhere to go now,
I’m playing your game,
With you lays the power;
But I won’t play by your rules.
Found a new angle,
Your boundaries strangle
My hope and plans, though
I will not drown in your shadow.
I will not play your fool.
You cannot match my fuel–
From the depths of despair
Emerge the people who care
About what’s wrong and unfair
About what landed them there.
And while you think that you know me
What you fail to see
Is I’m a drop in the sea
Of blood in your arteries.
You think that you’re in control
But all the great prophets told
And empire’s greatest downfall
Stems from inside of it’s walls.
I’m under your skin.
I’ll take you down from within.
(2015)
I actually wrote this as lyrics for a song, both the lyrics and music of which I'm still amending. If all goes well, I'll stick a YouTube link to the finished song below.
One must find ways of channeling creative energy whilst trapped in the confinement of the sytsem.
