PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Wake up child, it’s time for school

Time to conform and learn the rules

This is your future, cause the choice is already made

About the laws and the people to hold your cage

No time for questions, no time for change

You gotta get with the program or you're gonna be estrange

So forget about the future and follow the past

It’s time to be part of the sheeps which we have amassed

Hey there child, why do you dance in the rain

Why do you gaze at the clouds, maybe your insane

Hey there child, why do you feel no pain

Why do you continue to dream, oh you’re so strange

Wake up boy, there is no time for rest

You gotta find a job and a home to build your nest

You gotta find your lover and then break her heart

You’ve gotta crush all her dreams by tearing her apart

You got to lose your voice, and accept your fate

Let go of all that joy and drown in your hate

You are gonna have some children and then teach them the same

Keep holding them down until it’s you who they distain

Hey there child, why do you dance in the rain

Why do you gaze at the clouds, oh maybe your insane

Hey there child, why do you feel no pain

Why do you continue to dream, oh you’re so strange

Hey there man, so broken and undone

You done what we asked for and now you’re no longer our concern

Wrapped in our strings, oh how we made you dance

Made you believe that you could win this game of chance

Lying in your death bed, alone and scared

Filled with regret and wishing that you dared

But now it’s too late, so close your eyes

And lose all hope and accept your demise

Hey there child, how do you dance in the rain

Show me how to gaze at the clouds, help me be insane 

Hey there child, I want to feel no pain

I wanna learn how to dream, how to be so strange 

Hey there child, please save my soul

Please take my hand, and pull me from this hole

Hey there child, show me how to fly away

Show me how to believe, how to find my own way
