about

one of the first songs I wrote of a new batch...really it's about systems that started out well intentioned (most anyways) but that the machine becomes an unthinking enemy we shouldn't get trapped inside...

lyrics

Daughters and Sons
© Dean G Wolfe, 2013

Do what you’re told
Fall into place
Try to fit in
keep the dirt off your face
Don’t ask what the truth is
Believe all the lies (x2)

We are not cogs inside machines
broken dreams, broken dreams
We are not pawns in jealous games
without names, without names

Change is coming
Systems failed our daughters and sons
Gifts and treasures,
Change will come through daughters and sons

Don’t live the corporate fantasy
worker bee, worker bee
Don’t be a ball of plasticine
Gelatine figurine

Do what you’re told
Fall into place
Try to fit in
keep the dirt off your face
Don’t ask what the truth is
Believe all the lies

They give you that paycheck
To buy what you’re sold
They treat you like silver
you’re made out of gold
They give you more homework
they steal all your time
