We Are Sold What To Do For a Living

everyday, for a living
i am sold what to do
how to work 

for a living

to afford the things we accrue

for a living, everyday
i am sold some belief
how to live 

and let live

to afford the excuses we use

sung in fairy tales

to feel better
we remember

in mediocre tune's 

"and the meek shall inherit the earth"

how clever

to adapt without claws

to any weather or beast

forever 

     to the weak from the strong...

  ...     it's the world's greatest con

 and everyday, for a living

we go on

no matter what, for a living

we do go on
