They mold you and shape you, they watch what you do…

Though they may promise, they only bring pain…

The future is managed, and your freedom’s a joke

You don’t know the difference as you put on the yoke

The less that you know the more you fall into place

A cog in the wheel, there is no soul in your face

(Above lyrics are an excerpt from the band Kansas’s hit “Sparks of the Tempest”)

-It seems to me a fair reflection of the reality in which we are all enslaved to by our “helpful”(NOT) political and educational institutions, which we have been ‘fortunate’ to inherit by birth in this grand country… *cough cough

Well, I guess it beats waking to a constant threat of physical and mental torture, or the other atrocities experienced in third-world countries.  :/
