Broken Social Contract

The lesser of evils will crush you
I didn’t agree to this at all
We smother any chance of civility
System after system doomed to fall
It's broken
We're broken
We broke it

What is man? A flimsy conception
Artificially constructed, born of fear and deception
You can try to draw the boundaries but there are always exceptions
Defining what it means to be, there are always objections
I am ill-defined
Identity cannot be confined
What is man? But the privileged oppressor
Most common example of demonizing the other
Misrepresent, socialize, kick and scream
Reject the common assumption of what masculinity means

State of Nature

Organized artificially, by centuries of white washed lies
Not built from rationality, but a nation complies
The state’s a trap
You sell your soul
Relinquish absolute control
Democracy is illusory, an appeal to force
The system of concepts that structures our lives torn down and rebuilt so our species survives
With newly won freedom comes a duty to lead, to consciously root out oppression and greed
