society
A lot of people mainly think about moneyBut does it make you better or your life sunny? Dealing with every single authorityIs that really my or our lives’ priority? In actuality we are millions, are the majorityThey are only a few, are the minority Thinking about how to pay the next billsThat’s what forces people to swallow pills No matter how hard you try, how many skillsIt’s not gonna stop their meaningless kills Time’s stolen, hundreds of wasted minutes spentOnly to figure out how to balance the rent The government never minds about you having enough foodIt is you and me who are actually screwed Is this really what we call a social state?So social, it’s even prohibited to skate We neither need the biggest nor the best economyWhat would help is at least a little autonomy People well-know how to stand on their own two feetBut they’re getting cold outside the street Helping the one next to you is needed; help is what life’s all aboutEach and everyone of us is hopeless without Politicians will never stop with their taunt and dauntBut realize they cannot stop you from getting what you really want
