Steam

Since when did my government

Have a monopoly

On my pursuit of happiness

Commercializing my peace

What’s wrong with our society

To free ourselves, others bleed

High-school kids high on weed dreams

Shooting each other just to blow off steam

When did we reach the point of no return

A teenage girl on the streets wailing

Throat burned

Gang-raped, the world’s deaf to her words

And nobody gives enough of a shit to answer

Two and a half hours

Left to bleed

Daddy’s trying to find you

What breed of monster are we

The kind of beast fueled by companies

Swear to god If I got my hands around the mad-men

Who caused this mess I’d make them heed

The words of the meek, the words of we

I don’t even know where Heaven is anymore

The lands of paradise, soil of the poor

I can’t see God in the clouds, a child blinded by the light

I lost the feeling a while ago, that everything is alright

The only power I have left

Now vulnerable to man’s theft

Is the ability to synthesize

The chase of the wise man’s prize

But even then I fear the hand

That grapples and grips

To shake an honest man

Host of the corrupt and the pimps

They’ve taken our freedom

Enslaved us in herds

They locked up my birth rights

How long ‘till my words?
