Product of Indoctrination

The fifth song on the album "One Day at a Time" (2023). Lyrics: It’s the product of indoctrination It’s the truth of which we dare not see It’s the lies we tell ourselves and future co-dependencies It’s the ruling of our governed nation It’s the way it's through history It’s the way it’s been and the way it’ll always be Busy busy all day long And we all know that there’s something wrong When you spend your time at work doing things for other people Just to show that you are strong Always living day to day And extra work means extra pay Take it while you’re young, and you’ve no responsibilities And good things will come your way, they say! It’s the product of indoctrination It’s the truth of which we dare not see It’s the lies we tell ourselves and future codependencies It’s the noise of heading up a family It’s the buzz of working night and day It’s the vision of a peaceful country, When the kids have gone away Find someone to call your own Find a house, then make a home Have a couple kids to keep the passion burning Cus who wants to be alone? When you’re working days are done It’s time to have a little fun But because you’re old and tired and mad at the world You can’t enjoy the prize you’ve won So you go to sleep Wake up in the morning Tend to what needs tending but you’re Dreams are out of reach Should have done it sooner Regret is never ending on this Mad little planet we call Earth And why is that? It’s the product of indoctrination It’s the truth of which we dare not see It’s the lies we tell ourselves and future codependencies It’s the fear of what’s around the corner It’s the drain of pure conformity It’s the way that it’s been and the way it’ll always be x2
