Obedient

Mother said to fly be free Cling to what you learn from me Father strong cold and hard Throw the ball around the yard High school robbed my dignity Serve the man or poverty Off to college beer and bang Tied to debt my future hangs Obedient I feel so blue My blood is red of that is true No time to wonder No time to feel It's dog eat dog And you're the meal Happy sad it's all the same Obedient the cattle train Obedient give up your brain I asked my dad will I succeed Arm in arm he smiled at me Father's eyes so glazed and pale Glint of youth lost and failed Into my eyes he looked and said, Have you ever seen the walking dead? Step by step the road of dread If time don't kill you You're bored instead Walk along this lonely path Love some pretty tender lass Hopefully you'll have a life Create some joy, avoid the strife In this time you have on earth Best think twice about giving birth Elites they aim to undermine All your dreams and all your time They take and take and bleed you dry They squeeze some more you scream and cry Government they ain't no saints Their billionaires got no restraint You wonder why you stand behind The lucky ones in front the line Ain't no mystery Ain't no thing They take from you everything Mother said to fly be free Cling to what you learn from me Father strong cold and hard Throw the ball around the yard High school robbed my dignity Serve the man or poverty Off to college beer and bang Tied to debt my future hangs Obedient I feel so blue My blood is red of that is true No time to wonder No time to feel It's dog eat dog And you're the meal Happy sad it's all the same Obedient the cattle train Obedient give up your brain I asked my dad will I succeed Arm in arm he smiled at me Father's eyes so glazed and pale Glint of youth lost and failed Into my eyes he looked and said, Have you ever seen the walking dead?
