Simple Dreams

Clouded vision, blurry eyes
Never look up to the skies
Ads for breakfast, ads for lunch
Picking best of a bad bunch.

We find comfort in this noise
Playing with our shiny toys
Definition of the truth
Isn't much for us to lose.

We are led by the hand but our hands are tied
Given these simple dreams, we will not decide
We will say what they think, we will think what they say
And never dare to disobey.

You will never be alone
Just stay inside your comfort zone
Move along, don't be afraid
All the choices have been made.

You'll get everything you need
To produce, consume and breed
Let them care about your health
Live your life for someone else.

We are led by the hand but our hands are tied
Given these simple dreams, we will not decide
We will say what they think, we will think what they say
And never dare to disobey
There has to be another way.

Oh how fortunate we are
Living in these times of change
Follow the lead and pay close attention
To all these handmade celebrity fascinations.
