They Never Said It Would Be Like This

From womb to tomb the process never ends Dictated norms tell us how we should live The try and take you self away We're taught to take and never to give We're thrown into a school and Taught to be a fool There we learn to hate and fear There we're taught what to say and to hear Their blinders cover up your eyes Even before we're born We're socialized to accept their lies Taught to view the world with scorn The young have certain illusions of what their future holds But they never said it would be like this Their society's so damn cold Forced to join and go to church Find yourself a god to worship They'll show you an after-life Then threaten to take it away from you We memorize their rituals And we're taught to be a fool There we learn who to "love" and fear There we're taught what to say and to hear So now you're legal age And your mind is so enslave You face the world with rage But you think that you're a sage They've taken your brain away And molded it just like clay And they never said it would be like this Just think about what we've done
