So We Forget
i used to be so afraid
so many people tell me how much
they hate people like me
cause i believe in something
more than this
they told me you can't talk about God
or you'll offend people
and you wont be able to work
in this world or industry
i was such a young girl
who didn't know anything
so i followed them this way
and that way and tried every other thing
i ate their food and had the wine
and did the lines and dropped the pills
i slept with boys and slept with girls
i took a ride in limos and hummers sipping on
wine and eating caviar
sure i shopped on 5th avenue
and i got a three hundred dollar hair cut
what was i thinking
i was asleep
living for this fake all American dream
which is nothing more
than a plastic fake alternative to the real thing
i want to feel what's real
i am sick of imitation
i am sick of the same old same old
over and over till there is nothing left
nothing new under the sun
nothing to believe in except cnn and disney
makes me sick
quickly find me a way to stay here
and not get sucked into the game
controlled video training your children
to be military
teach your children to kill
this is a healthy sane pass time
mommy and daddy have glued shut there eyes
don't care cause they're too busy telling lies
to themselves about the life they live in this suburbia hell
where mommy is always screaming shut up
and daddy is always ignoring the kids
go sit in front of your tv and don't say anything
i had a long day and i am busy
go stay away from me
lonely children have no one to love them
except the pretend people on tv who say
all kinds of things about the so called reality
based on the message of the machine
