Song I just thought of: "Corporate Dreams"

Post Reply New Topic

It's a song about how life seems to put down my dreams.

---

My goals are far from the American Dream
All I want to do is show the world what I mean
But I'm afraid that when I show them to you
You'll just turn around and say
I'm just another corporate puppet

I have some things that I started liking recently
I just want to express myself innocently
But now it seems that my love is just a lie to you
Cause even if I truly love them
You think my heart is made of plastic

-Chorus-
Why am I just nostalgic for something I didn't see
Why are all my dreams just corporate greed
Why is despair the path my goals will lead me to
And if my dreams are useless, why should your's come true?

My heart is full of things that I do not own
I want to put them on paper for my mind to be known
But if I put what I like down would you really like it
Cause when I look at those things
You say that no one would like them

-Repeat chorus-

Should I not be innocent because that something made by the 1%?
And should I really be happy, or is that just another Corporate Dream?

My goals are far from the American Dream
All I want to do is show the world what I mean

Why am I just nostalgic for something I didn't see
Why are all my dreams just corporate greed
Why is despair the path my goals will lead me to
And if you try to cut will I not bleed through
And if my dreams are useless, why should your's come true?

But when I try to tell this to you
You'll just turn around and say
I'm just another corporate puppet

So, what do you think of these lyrics? I might post a video of my singing them.

Reminds me of a few songs by System of a Down and Serj, only it's a bit clearer.
