Drifting carelessly helplessly

In a river of lethargy

Busy trying to escape

From the dull reality

Desensitizing diet keeps us quiet

And compliant

While the cortex hibernates

Soaked in red and blue and green

See our faces clearer, a thousand mirrors

Draw us nearer

Feed us only our own dreams

At the very speed of light

No way to stop oppression and obsession

With aggression

When the people in the streets

Can’t agree on what to fight

In your hibernation

All your rights are taken away

You let the Well-offs have your share

Dreaming of rebellion

But doing neatly what they say

You’re too numb to really care

Side by side

We stand alone

Denying our common destiny

In the end

We will see

The triumph of plutocracy
