Mentally Murdered - Napalm Death

Your aspirations, unable to stretch

Beyond the barriers of what’s expected

As the free thought you were born with

Becomes externally polluted

Lose sight of your ideals

In their brainwashing institutions

Predetermine your values

To befit your substandard existence…

Discouraging creativity

To aim for empty ambitions

Living up to others expectations

Takes hold of your assiduity

Mentally murdered!

Always up to the mark

Set the wheels in motion

A fake sense of security

From your invariable position

Sinking in the crowd

A face minus expression

A mouth that echoes words

Recycled from tradition

Your only contentness

Is in living a lie

Mentally murdered!

Do you possess the strength

To re-create your own life?
