Prison Cell

Searching for the meaning of life
Even the tiniest of clues
But it doesn’t exist
I hate to be the bringer of bad news
It’s all a painful journey from black to black
No heaven or an afterlife
You’re never coming back
Brainwashed in school to be commodist fools
Enslaved and forced to live by unwritten rules
Like how we’re gonna act when we’re a certain age
We’re all puppets acting on a fucking stage
We put on a mask to hide how we really feel
We conceal everything that’s really real
The truth is that we’re all lobotomized
Held in shackles and chains to act civilized
We’re all seconds away from an early grave
Do you really want to spend your whole life a slave?
You get nothing in return, nothing to earn
I say fuck the society, let it burn
If this is heaven I try to live in hell
I’m on death row; I can only live to tell
Life is a jail; if you breed you are the personnel
We all live and die in a prison cell
[Repeat chorus]
I was born in the wrong era as the wrong sex
I was born in the wrong world; it’s complex
I despise this planet; it’s all fucked up
The sky’s like the bars to keep us all locked up
On death row from the moment we’re born
Tiny slaves crying from the womb we’re torn
Your whole fucking life is all planned ahead
From the cord is cut
Till you’re in the grave dead
Mapped out from the very first breath
Education and work, retirement and death
Brainwashed to not feel your own misery
So you can be a little puppet
Slavery
And we’ll never get the chance to break free
But at least we can choose to see reality
That life is a prison, it will forever be
A population of inmates; that’s all I see
If this is heaven I try to live in hell
I’m on death row; I can only live to tell
Life is a jail; if you breed you are the personnel
We all live and die in a prison cell
[Repeat chorus]
