The Society That Lives Asleep

Folder: 
Song Lyrics

Verse 1

Walking in a day dream
Perceived as reality
Somehow oblivious
To the true insanity

Of society

Screaming
All around me
Political kool aid
Always drinking
For myself
Never thinking

While the truth

Never seeing
Ignorance bliss
Not noticed
While the Karen in me
Over nothing important
Throws another fit
I don't know what
People a hundred years ago
Thought what life today
Would be like

But I'm betting 
This was never it

Chorus
Spoiled idiots
Hailed by morons
As brilliant
While on the streets
And on social media
The rest of us
Their insanity
We suffer daily
Too blind to see
And too damn stupid
To even want to
Welcome to the present
And the future of our society

Verse 2
Narcissistic and
Materialistic
With expectations
Of everything
Being unrealistic
We can barely deal
With ourselves
Let alone each other
So when it comes
To even trying
We prefer
To just not bother
Bury our heads

In our phones
And lives
Into social media
Letting numbers
Over actual friendship
Become more important
Thinking we mean something
Without actually 
Truly being seen
Our world
Is straight
Out of a 
Horror movie

Chorus

Verse 3
Dangerous
And living in 
A world of fakeness
We walk around
With inflated egos
Thinking we
Are better
Than everyone else so
You know deal with it bitch
Your problems
Ha no we don't care
We can't even feel 
Enough to deal
With our own
So why should we 
Care about yours

While thinking we are
Just too good

To care anyway
Then watching the tragedies

On the tv daily
Wondering why
Someone who is not me
Isn't doing something
To stop everything
Only to wake the next morning
To a world

About which we don't care
Once again
Welcome to why 
We got here

Chorus
