C.O.N.F.O.R.M. |
| This instrument can teach, it can illuminate, and yes it even can inspire |
| But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to |
| those ends |
| Otherwise, it’s nothing but wires and lights in a box |
| Running, rushing, blood spilling |
| Tears are pouring, it seems the well is never filled |
| Mentally exhausted, overworking, take another pill |
| All to keep the owner of the corporation stacking billions |
| These corporations manipulating our daily lives |
| Got us exasperated working through all of our days and nights |
| Sacrifices your leisure time to end up at a 9 to 5 |
| To work until you are deceased without a single moment for peace |
| Never still, it just keeps rolling down the hill, nobody tries to stop it |
| Dont get cocky get you killed, you’ll be a trending topic |
| A cog up in the wheel |
| A sacrifice to the cult of death being built |
| Caught up in the matrix, virtual digital minds |
| We don’t memorize phone numbers or directions when |
| We drive |
| We don’t even have to go shopping to get our food and buy things |
| We only push a button, we don’t even have to try |
| Can’t even lift an eye up away from my phone |
| Talking to Instagram live just so I don’t feel alone |
| Flooding my Twitter feed with my deepest feelings and thoughts |
| My page is public but my sense of conversation is blocked |
| I validate myself through followers just to feel important |
| Instead of living in the moment, I much rather record it |
| Nobody knows my first name but know my Snapchat handle |
| I’m just a millennial trapped in social media standards |
| I see oppression within an effort |
| To own the rights of my expression |
| I see expression, influence, the feeling |
| To wipe our opinions, we are the meaning of conforming |
| Shelling out melodies and feverish frequencies |
| Funding boardroom salaries, they pay me in exposure |
| No penalties when they’re late paying me |
| No benefits seen, just means for you to leave the foreclosure |
| Advertise that revenue, everything that you consume |
| All for them, less for you, they do all the sorting |
| Try to figure out ways to make you feel important |
| While they keep robbing you blind, hold extortion |
| In some sense that’s the power of the Internet |
| On the other hand, that’s a perfect formula for the dark side |
| This is our generation’s form of nuclear power |
| How we deal with this will be the stuff in history |
| I see oppression within an effort |
| To own the rights of my expression |
| I see expression, influence, the feeling |
| To wipe our opinions, we are the meaning of conformity |
