Imagine a life of hard work then death,
Of helpless obedience, fake success
Racing, pacing, giving up our last breath
Just to realise we all end up with less.
Imagine the pain of theft and assault,
Abduction of family, sadness, loss
People of power are always at fault
All of our kin forthwith worship the boss.
Imagine obsessed buyers and sellers,
All engrossed in distorted distractions
Irresponsible illusion dwellers
Unaware of their harmful transactions.
All subjects of brainwashing unaware
Slowly depleting our supply of air.
