How much does it cost to explore your own thoughts?
To find your own style or to teach what you were taught
How much does it cost to form your own opinion?
To stray away from the army of Despicable Me minions
How much does it cost to find and depict the details?
As opposed to giving the media your mind and allowing them to derail
How much does it cost to live a life hypocritical?
Not very analytical but far more political
Living a life of stagnation, being influenced by men in black tuxes
Who have power because of their assets and don't know what giving two f**ks is
And you know what sucks is... their control keeps you where 'stuck' is
Keeps in you in a mental state of emergency like a stop, drop, roll, and tuck is
The evil in this world wants you to stay subliminally conformative
To believe in what they say in order to keep you less informative
The evil in this world wants you to keep singing the blues
To be depressed every time you see something sad pop up on the news
The evil in this world wants you to believe in their critiques
To think that you are not worth it and that you are less unique
The evil in this world will always remain powerless
If you don't allow it to knock you down; world trade tower-less
Only you can control your thoughts, your attitude, your actions
Only you can control your happiness, your energy, your reactions
Only you can control what you let in, what you birth, contraction
Only you can control what adds up and what you take away, subtraction
