You Brought It Upon Yourselves - Crippled Black Phoenix

Every sane society allows a certain number of people to deviate

You don’t have to join, that don’t have to play the game

A society which is insane and unsure of itself cannot allow that to happen

It says everybody must join

Everybody must learn

Everybody must belong

Then freedom disappears

You can go running around the wheel in the rat race

Just as long as you want, so long as you think it’s fun

And if there comes a time when you no longer think it’s fun to be anxious,

you don’t have to continue

On Earth, everywhere you go, the temperature is 75 degrees

Everything is the same, all the people are exactly the same

Now what kind of life is that?

When a society allows a certain number of people to withdraw

It should have no anxiety that everyone would want to withdraw

Because some people are absolutely fascinated in competition, in being involved,

in playing the game

There have to be people, who stand outside the game

And do not identify themselves with a class

With a name

With an ego

With a persona

With a role

Every sane society allows a certain number of people to deviate

You don’t have to join, that don’t have to play the game

A society which is insane and unsure of itself cannot allow that to happen

It says everybody must join

Everybody must learn

Everybody must belong

Then freedom disappears

You don’t have to join, that don’t have to play the game

A society which is insane and unsure of itself cannot allow that to happen
