This is how we built Society
I keep it up i suppose. what else would i be doing with my time than fly kites? Spiritual wonderings whilst wandering high.
if any question can be answered i suppose i've to duty to see them asked. regardless of the way they unfold
those events in sequence begot by inquiring honestly is a quest most noble
i'm a knight in shining armour. a gentleman and a scholar.
an asshole and a jerk who's selfish more than his worth
just like any other whom can claim a name that makes me one in a million.
one in a million with a chance to shine,
one in a million with a chance at life.
I'm on in a million chance to be me, and so are you so whats the deal?
lets play pretend and suggest that we're one and the same
different eyes in different skin under the exact same premise
comprimising cirumstance thrust upon us at birth
not of choice but of chance
given identities and from the moment of conscious conceptions
we either deny or accept what we're given.
I'm of the latter, i'll take a name if your offering
It's a better place to look for myself than a nothingness source
with out a key for a map
infinate in length by width of the same stat
I'll make belief you understand me and you can do the same
and when we've gotten good enough at this we'll make it a ruled game
you'll have to play along or else it won't be any fun,
so if a new guy comes up, he'll have to join
and when the girl arrives we'll make her pick sides.
I'll be over here
and you can start there.
I'll wage war for something i don't have
and you can do the same if you like.
We'll eventually stop, because fighting hurts
and I don't much like to cry.
Then we'll trade and the rules grow
now we've got to regulate the flow of the barter routes
travelled and traversed by merchants and cowards
running rampant in numbers bearing banners like bandits
and we'll send our armies once occupied in war - now bored -
to go and take control of the roads,
this way we'll see where ANYONE goes.
No one will be free from our game,
why would they want to? It's soo much fun!
Now we've built cities, and their subsequent townships
surrounding the area with farmers and their lands
ranching their ranches.
We get to eat of course,
we invented the rules! This game is the best,
those people are such fools.
If only they joined us when we first began
they could too be sitting here tonight
by a feast and fire,
well dressed in fine silk
laughing drunk on the finest of wine
endulging in magical herbs from across the lands.
Now that we've mastered the game
lets invent rules just for the sake of it
make those players deserve what they get,
of course, don't teach them how to play
lets see if any make it to our ranks someday!
Who could have imagined that playing pretend would be grand?
Making a belief that stood unchallanged.
A dream offered to the sleeping whom thought emptiminded
is gobbled up with lust and longing.
A free dream? One with no work involved?!
A free dream...
Must be true freedom....
Those sleepers have no passions in their lives!
let alone the ability to open their eyes,
if they could gaze and gander upon the universe
they'd see what they imagine is the only reality.
Playing pretend and making belief..
That's how we built society.
