Insolence

Another day of drudgery
Turns your mind to sludge
Locked inside your carpet
You slowly die
Brace yourself for mediocrity
It's getting worse
Your resistance is within
What will you do to win?

Stand up, rise up
Fight back in your little ways
Navigate the corridors
Of the corporate maze
Punch in, punch out
Put your life on hold
Try to stand up
Stop just doing what you're told

You sit in hostile silence
As a chill fills the air
You were good together once
But something slipped away
Can't accept it's over
So you just suffer on
Stick with what's familiar
Though it makes you miserable

Wake up, wise up
Take control of your life
Happiness is out there
And you deserve your slice
Look within, sort it out
Find a path to follow
Don't fear change
Your life doesn't have to be so narrow

Sabotage their precious profits
Their corporate greed and excess
All for the few
Yeah, well, fuck you, not anymore
Act like the nameless faceless cog in a machine
Or just a worker bee or a fucking human being
Why do you think no-one else will ever love you?
Your misery loves her company more than she ever loved you

Stand up, rise up
Fight back in your little ways
Navigate the corridors
Of the corporate maze
Wake up, wise up
Take control of your life

Keep on going
The end of the tunnel could be bright
