"MIXED MESSAGES"

Welcome to the country

of mixed messages

As all you can see,

we've been this way for ages

Nothing's really free

Put your tongues in cages

It's like them telling you

that you need to lose weight

while all they do

is give you more cakes

They even pretend to have no clue

that your courtesy is sometimes fake

You're here,

yet abandoned

What's crystal-clear

is you feeling undone

As long as you're so dear

your civil rights will never be taken

Yes, you can just be yourself

as long as you do what they say

Leave your personal idealism in the back shelf

Be a good citizen and obey

You should feel enough with what you have

Just do things their way

So, welcome to the country

of mixed messages

Enjoy your stay

perhaps for ages

Don't worry too much

not even about the future

Let them trample on your personal business a lot

That, you have to endure

What else is the good thing?

Oh, no need to think

Be the puppet on their strings
