fall in line
FALL IN LINE
The harsh reality
Is the life I now live
killed my individuality
I used to be imaginary
And be outside the norm
My artistic freedoms a cut out
I must conform
I shaved my head
I cut off my beard
I am forced to FALL IN LINE
I sleep forever not so deep
In white shirts and neckties
An ant or bee trapped in a hive
A drone without a mate
I serve a queen
And will never be
Able to love or leave
I used to follow a different street
Now all I see is pavement
Stay inside the yellow lines
Forgettable and expendable
creative juices solidified
follow the rules of fools
you are now just a tool
corporation is my life
FALL IN LINE
This conformation
freedom ripped
now I am caged inside
the box of life
So regular
So ordinary
I must hold on to something
Keep tight my dignity
This is reality
I have lost my humanity
