Reflecting on my experience working in the corporate world.
Corporate slave
This Matrix system of control
Forever keeps me on a roll
To produce, work and achieve
I’ve got not time to stop and be
I start to question, “Is this it?
Is there more to life than just this shit?
Just this grind day in, day out?”
It makes me want to scream and shout:
“I feel like a fucking slave! Like a rat trapped in a cage!”
And all I want is to escape
This life I live is such a waste
This wasn’t how it was meant to be
Oooooooh, how I long to be free.
…
Then eventually, I realise
The real prison is in my mind
That my beliefs keep me enslaved
And my lifeforce I give away…
Willingly. I give it over willingly!
Because I was taught it’s normal
It’s how life is meant to be
So I consent unconsciously
To be a cog in their machine
Like a vampire it sucks me dry
A human resource to be drained
And I consent to all of this
‘Cause it’s how I have been trained
But now I see the truth
That I really sold my soul
I traded freedom to be safe
Secure and comfortable
I betrayed myself
And who I’m meant to be
I am so much more than this
Please, someone help me to break free!
