lyrics

you can rise against
closed fist and all
and they will beat you down
or you can cower low
servile and chained
and they will beat you down
you can be yourself
live free and strange
and they will beat you down
or you can tow the line
you can be the same
and they will beat you down
we are cogs on a wheel and pawns on a board
insignificant and we can be ignored
we will be ignored just like we are ignored now
you can tremble at death
pretend that nothings dies
and they will beat you down
or you can push yourself to die in record time
and they will beat you down
we are cogs on a wheel and pawns on a board
insignificant and we can be ignored
we will be ignored just like we are ignored now
you can deprecate in shallow modesty
and they will beat you down
or you can fool yourself and swell with unearned pride
and they will beat you down

about

Louis Smith Dunedin, New Zealand

I used to make music and play in bands when I was younger. It was mostly not that great so I mostly stopped.
