Ex Machina

will you smash it up?
is this from the heart or
another passing role?
or will you grow up?
become a lawyer, politician,
or some other asshole?

so how do you cope?
do you rig yourself of guild by
displacing the blame?
when you do it right
do you do it for the common good
and not for the fame?

every action, cause reaction
from the near to far
and everywhere in between
your solutions for our problems
do you put your faith in a god
from the machine?

and what do they do?
rebellion fabricated and packaged
for the youth
'cause it's what they sell
make sure that's what you want if
you're going to buy it

every action, cause reaction
from the near to far
and everywhere in between
your solutions for our problems
do you put your faith in a god from
the machine?

so look out your window,
it's a great big world
beyond all the trends
and elitist social scenes
do you trust your heroes,
defined by a label?
will a slogan or haircut
change anything?
