Part I - Ants Underfoot
(Born)
We're all born the same as each other, treated as a target to achieve
(Raised)
Blank canvasses to project upon, indoctrinated by the naive
(Done)
Too young to choose your own beliefs, too late to make your own opinion
(Self)
Too deaf to hear that you could be wrong
(Aware)
Too blind to see that you should listen
Stupid breeds stupid
(Born)
We're all born the same as each other,
Carrying the genetics of our mother
(Grown)
Products of micro-evolution, mistakes are yet to be discovered
(Done)
Which parts of you are of your design?
Which parts were there from the beginning?
(Self)
Can you admit you're responsible?
(Aware)
Can you accept there's something missing?
Each one deciding that their way is right
Monochrome thinking, it's black or it's white
I'm surrounded by idiots and fools, opinionated egos
If I were a bigger man
I would crush them like ants under my boot
At each others throats, from sports to politics
An infestation of deplorable...
No way they're wrong, not possible in their mind
Selfish obtuse morons, these are the worst of our kind
-------------
Part II - One Of The Hive
Working hard to be seen, guided by the silver screen
Carbon copies, mannequin dolls
Become independent by following the trend
Misshapen in your own skin
Desperate to fit in
In order to stand out
We're all just one of the hive
Trying to live a life
To a plan of their divine design
Pictures in the magazines
Dictating people's dreams
Must-have names, designer brands
Lead us by the hand
A mirror machine, a heinous industry
Everywhere we go, rammed down our throats
Just be different, independent
Ignore the fashions, instead just wear what you like
Be an individual, changing isn't difficult
Drop the names, become your own, be just like me
-------------
Part III - Cocoon
Looking back at how I judged
I was no better than the rest
Seeing my error, I took myself aside and a had a word
Changed the way I saw the world
Chose to see only the best
Never again would I be angry, no matter who they were
I took the time to make myself
A better person than before
Everyone should do the same then we'd all get along
(If I can change then, why can't everybody /
Else needs to change their ways, they're holding us back)
Let's be better people
I'm a better person
(For the sake of each other can't you change your personalities)
Now I'm your model personality
(For the sake of each other change your personality)
