B 
B5 
B 
No choices of our own, we've
B5 
been assigned our roles from day one
Don't know our own interests,

C 
never had the chance to discover what inspires us
B 
B5 
Told that what we're taught in school is all
C5 
C 
that's worthy to pursue

Verse 2
B 
B5 
C 
Interests outside of it have no value,
B5 
if it doesn't motivate you,
C 
""there must be something wrong with you.""
B 
B5 
Spend all our time dedicated
C 
to the very few options given,
B5 
outside of those narrow guidelines, can
C 
hardly imagine there's anything more!

Verse 3

No work today, it's bright outside

but you don't know what to do now

that you have your own free time

The tv has always been

there to pacify

and keep you from asking ""what

do I really like?""

Verse 4

C 
B 
D 
C 
So  many years of buying the lies
C5

that through ""production"" is  the only
D 
C 
way we can feel satisfied
C5

If you're not earning money for the system,
you're wasting your time

C5 
B 
we ask why?

Verse 5
B 
D 
C 
cren't we just wasting our time for someone
B

D 
else just like slaves?
C 
B 
C5 
B 
D 
C 
Fooling ourselves that we need it, that we should enjoy it,
B 
D 
or at least accept it
C 
B 
B5 
(each day on the job
we're being robbed!)
B 
D5 
They keep our food un der
C 
B5 
B 
C5 
lock and key
D5 
C5 
B 
B5 
to  force us to operate
D 
B 
B5 
B 
D 
this machine
B5 
B 
Slaves were used to build
D 
C5 
B 
B5 
this civilization
D5 
D 
C5 
B 
B5 
surely our rulers didn't
B 
D 
C5 
B5 
want to end this tradition
D5 
D 
It

D5 
B5 
B 
B5 
B 
D5 
C5 
just changed forms,
C 
C5

B5 
D 
C5 
but we're still under their control!
C 
C5 
C

B 
B5 
C 
C5 
Chattel slavery got too costly to provide food
B5 
B 
B5 
B 
B5 
D 
C 
and   shelter for their property
B5 
B 
B5 
[Now they] leave that up to us
B 
C 
and make us dependent
C5 
B5 
B 
B5 
C5 
they don't worry about us  running away because we
C 
go to them

C 
C5 
me a purpose?
C 
C5 
B5 
C5 
C 
I would rather die
B 
B5 
than submit to that lie!
