G.U.L.A.G.
Make that quota
If not then back to Siberia where it's cold
(It's even colder when you're poor)
What do you think I pay you for?
Surely it's not to think

DON'T THINK!
JUST SPEAK
sell
Empty thoughts from an empty mind
Which disperses empty words from that
Empty hole you call a mouth
Did I leave anything out?

Play the game!
Sell those campaigns
Display your shame
Sweat, Blood, & Tears
ALL for minimum wage

DVM. CHP. MFM. OWS. USP. GEN.
SELL! SELL! SELL!
(I've got you all under my spell)

Be active!
Proactively advertise but passively dismiss
my disrespecting comments

9 to 5
NINE 2 FIVE
9-2-5

T-minus your freedom and counting
8 hours of discarded vision
You're blinded by the dollar signs

How sublime

But do be careful
There are satellites
Everywhere
Acting as unofficial parasites
To keep everyone in line
You can't see them with your
eyes
They're incognito
In
DISGUISE

Centipedes and Milipedes
Crawl and circumspect your flaws and
Unsuspecting demeanor
They're in your clock, your headset,
Your mirror

Reflecting lies and dangerous truths
Destroying your delicate youth
Making you look foolish as you're being
Tossed and abused like yesterday's refuse

And I know you won't refuse
My administrative abuse

You need me
and I
You

Money's what makes the world go round
Without it I will surely drown
And plummit to the ground
(No one benefits from misfortune)

NOW BACK TO WORK!
We have souls to sell

ooh lol. ofcourse it is. trapping yourself in a box to appease strangers, for their unneccessary satisfaction. God forbid, someone has the courage to be him/herself.
