Kabuki Theater

Rely on the word of civil leaders
Trust them with all nuclear features
To fund the wars and not the teachers
Cheer on your overlords from the bleachers
A and B, see the choices are limited
The suit arrives already fitted
Speak in script and cause no confusion
What you call choice, they call illusion
Act on behalf of the donors
Acting as if for the voters
System is run by social classes
Dictation is not by the masses

You are not the master of your fate
You are not the captain of your soul
You do not intimidate the state
You don't have access to the controls

Pulpit's reserved for first class humans
Or you can pay up front just to get in
Keep the means just out of reach
To survive, much less to run the streets
What you don't know
Hurts you the most
Sweet nothing rhetoric
Speech is performative
Say everything to get in good graces
How easily they lie to your faces
Check accounts and all of their balances
Find out where all of the money is
Who is funding the apparatus?
What a surprise the big fat cat is

You are not the master of your fate
You are not the captain of your soul
You do not intimidate the state
You don't have access to the controls
