Assimilation

from Parasite by Noise Complaint

lyrics

Welcome to America, the land of the free
We're taught to follow certain rules in order to succeed
Go to college, study and immerse yourself in debt
and if you're lucky you can work to barely make a check

These standards are preventing us from being truly free
I'm not made for this life and it's not made for me
Why trade a life of individuality
for a generic existence of false security
I refuse to assimilate myself into a mold
by doing and acting exactly as I'm told
The moment I give in to this societal regime
is when I become just another gear in the machine

Buy buy buy, satisfy your consumer needs
Purchase all the latest products shown on your t.v.
Use them as a substitute for parenting your kids
cause it's much easier than the alternative

These standards are preventing us from being truly free
I'm not made for this life and it's not made for me
Why trade a life of individuality
for a generic existence of false security
I refuse to assimilate myself into a mold
by doing and acting exactly as I'm told
The moment I give in to this societal regime
is when I become just another gear in the machine

So watch the news and be scared into submission
Stare at the screen and lose all cognition
Eat at McDonald's cause who needs nutrition
Relinquish your mind and submit your volition
The tower of ignorance must be dismantled
So make a difference and set the example
Living only to buy and consume
will lead to our total destruction and doom

This life's not for
This life's not for
This life's not for me
