lyrics

Once again we're at the start
And it's time for money to ruin art
In a world like this you've got to sell
These open letters to yourself

And society is corrupt
And we'll never know enough
And now it's finally time to prove your worth to us

There's no time to fuck around
With things that no-one understands
Stop playing with your head and get to work
Cos no-one's special no-one's first

And on the astral plane
We all just look the same
Go tell your friend to never write a song again

We all have different opinions
So a critic's role is irrelevant
If you find a way to express yourself
Then who needs approval from anyone else?

And the message is compromised
And the truth is sacrificed
Are we born into a world of virtues based on lies?

But I offer no truce
No solution no compromise
So it's time to struggle alone
And have reasons for what you've done
Cos society is corrupt
And it'll never wake up
And we'll all be forced to compete
In order to make ends meet.
