Primitive Reason So You Say Lyrics
            I meant what I said that I meant,
            Your posture I condemn,
            Your conduct towards life I detest,
            Taught to be just like the rest,
            Abused and oppressed, repressed,
            So why do you bow and obey,
            Enchained and enslaved,
            Is your pride that conveyed,
            And as they control your mind
            and keep you tied to the lies
            That make your life.
        
            I meant what I said that I meant what I said,
            Your posture I condemn,
            Your conduct towards life I detest,
            Taught to be just like the rest.
        
            You've become what I thought you'd become
            Where do you come from?
            Someplace conquered by guns
            Chained to ideals that you were taught
            As soon as you could walk
            You were taught the words for you to talk
            And then you were taught consideration,
            Through years of education,
            To live and die for your nation
            Why should you even listen to what they say
            And bow on your knees with no individuality?
        
            I meant what I said that I meant what I said,
            Your posture I condemn,
            Your conduct towards life I detest,
            Taught to be just like the rest.
        
            You know in anyone, you'll find a trace of hipocrisy,
            But I'm not one of those hipocrits who chose the ways
            of conformity,
            A conformity to the lies, to the lies they call
            democracy,
            Or any other politics keeping us chained to this
            society.
            Gotta realise that giving up to this society is
            becoming but
            Another lie, a prisoner, a he.
            A he that's told and controlled, deprived of his
            dignity,
            He the prisoner the slave, controlled by the policy.
        
            You're f___ed! You signed your name on the dotted
            line,
            Leaving what life you might have had behind.
            f___ them! We've got a life of our own,
            We don't need their s___, we don't need no more
            Bullshit! We do not need to obey,
            To do what they want, to do what they say.
            f___ them! I got a life of my own, I got my life,
            I'll live it my own way.
        
            Employ, exploit on your excess, express
            The dirty money that you make is only good to impress
            All the mindless idiots that believe that you're
            working for their best interest.
            And now..Now where is your respect for the earth?
            For the animals and the people you neglect,
            Or infect, with your need to take more than you can
            get,
            You thief, you're a murderer. One of them backwards
            greedy b______s,
            You were never my friend.
            Yeah, I was thinking about myself today,
            Had woken up feeling nauseous and
            My head spinning away, and yeah,
            I do remember when I was little, you see,
            How I'd sit thinking about all life and
            How I thought that it would be, but now I see
            A lot has changed since those days,
            Most of the friends with whom I used to play
            They're full of s___, they don't mean s___ to me.
            Nothing is ever what it seems to be,
            Nobody's ever what they seem to me.
