Mother said to fly be free
Cling to what you learn from me
Father strong cold and hard
Throw the ball around the yard
High school robbed my dignity
Serve the man or poverty
Off to college beer and bang
Tied to debt my future hangs
Obedient I feel so blue
My blood is red of that is true
No time to wonder
No time to feel
It's dog eat dog
And you're the meal
Happy sad it's all the same
Obedient the cattle train
Obedient give up your brain
I asked my dad will I succeed
Arm in arm he smiled at me
Father's eyes so glazed and pale
Glint of youth lost and failed
Into my eyes he looked and said,
Have you ever seen the walking dead?
Step by step the road of dread
If time don't kill you
You're bored instead
Walk along this lonely path
Love some pretty tender lass
Hopefully you'll have a life
Create some joy, avoid the strife
In this time you have on earth
Best think twice about giving birth
Elites they aim to undermine
All your dreams and all your time
They take and take and bleed you dry
They squeeze some more you scream and cry
Government they ain't no saints
Their billionaires got no restraint
You wonder why you stand behind
The lucky ones in front the line
Ain't no mystery
Ain't no thing
They take from you everything
Mother said to fly be free
Cling to what you learn from me
Father strong cold and hard
Throw the ball around the yard
High school robbed my dignity
Serve the man or poverty
Off to college beer and bang
Tied to debt my future hangs
Obedient I feel so blue
My blood is red of that is true
No time to wonder
No time to feel
It's dog eat dog
And you're the meal
Happy sad it's all the same
