live your life how you want
by the means of society
and the labels they put on you
go out of your way to please them
go ahead and stand up
for the things you don't believe in
you know it's not what you want
but it makes them happy
and that's all that matters
it's so embarrassing;
the extent you'll go just to please them
you go against everything you stand for
and it's a shame
go throw your life away
i'll laugh at you from the sidelines
when it's all said and done
you'll look back and realize
the life you could have led
fuck your fake activism
and fuck your friends
they'll be gone before you know it
and you will soon follow
along with your pathetic ideologies
the idiocracy they lead
is your newfound home
your so-called "safe space"
the only place you feel accepted
but this has nothing to do with you
it's all about your reputation
you just want to fit in
no matter the cost
so there it is
your standards? lowered
your friends? dull
your lifestyle? corrupted
your morale? withered
and your ego? self-explanatory
