Negative

Living in suburbia everyday
Punch drunk off the radio waves
They tell me when I grow up I'll be free to get paid
Why do I feel like I'm trapped in a maze?
Final exam, SAT, the right list
I am bigger than this, I'm fearless yet forced to submit
Another cog is what they need
Just another motherfucker been scared to succeed

I say the youth, they have no power

I'd sign a non-aggression pact if you'd put down the apparatus
But I'm just a slave unit with the killing floor status
I'd send society burning when my kill switch klicks
But I'm a little too addicted to this
Money, the pursuit of capital gains
I'm the perfect cookie cut out, can't you tell I'm in pain?
Scared to look over my shoulder for all the ghosts behind me
'Cause when you fail, you fail, and one likes a loser, jerk

I say the youth, they have no power

Let's take a trip to the industrial district
Everytime I pull the lever, I get deeper in this
Sinkhole that I can't get out
Strikebreaker equals money and political clout
And everytime I look into this screen
That motherfucker inside trying to choke me
Got me running on the treadmill, my future before me
The past is but a dream, I'm dead, I'm dead
