New Design

I wake up in the morning
Nine to five is daunting
Watch TV and go to sleep
I work hard for a paycheck
To pay off more debt
Never own a private jet
We’re all up in arms
Dropping Bombs
Look to preachers to repent
We all live for a profit
Some will die without it
While the Vatican is rich

Born into all that I’ve known
Alive but barely living

Time for a new design
Time for a new design
Out with the old

Doesn’t matter what you vote for
Corporations paid more
Politicians bought and picked
The house comes with a mortgage
No one can afford it
In thirty years you might own it
Banks don’t fail
They get bailed
No one seems to give a shit
Education is outdated
Kids are medicated
Treatment for their malcontent

I'm breaking out of this mold
Awake among the sleeping

Time for a new design
Time for a new design
Time for a new design
I'm done doing what I'm told
Time for a new design
'cause this can’t go on repeating
Out with the old

Time for a new design
Time for a new design
I'm breaking out of this mold
Time for a new design
To change my way of thinking
Time for a new design
I'm done doing what I'm told
Time for a new design
'cause this can’t go on repeating
Out with the old
