Civilization Isn’t Civilized

Civilization isn’t civilized,
It’s the popular kids attacking those they say are despised,
It’s the bullies shoving the nerds in lockers,
It’s the pretentiousness of old farts sitting in their rockers,
I mean no disrespect when I say “screw that crap”,
Let’s get up off this damn fat lap,

Civilization isn’t civilized,
That’s just one of the ways its been disguised,
Oh here allow me to help you,
I will spread the word that just is not true,
We still have taxation without representation,
We just employ great liars in each nation,

Civilization isn’t civilized,
Listen to the progression as it’s surmised,
We still fight wars, there are still slaves,
We shoot, bomb and kill in waves,
Technology removes the innocence of children,
And hides the true motives of mice and men,

Civilization isn’t civilized,
This isn’t just something I hypothesized,
The patriarchy still suppresses femininity,
We still shame girls without virginity,
While praising the studs, stoic and strong,
We still immortalize them in song,

Civilization isn’t civilized,
Are you really that anesthetized?
That unaware of the situation you’re in?
Your predestined inability to win?
Seriously, you still don’t get it,
This can’t be solved with some kind of first aid kit,

Civilization isn’t civilized,
Just because it’s standardized,
That just means we cannot grow,
Or is that just another thing you didn’t know,
Our creativity is stunted from a very early age,
Why aren’t more people full of outrage?

Civilization isn’t civilized,
It isn’t even centralized,
We have borders despite all being the same,
We can’t even innovate a new name,
Mike, Mark, Matt, Miles,
Those are the names that populate our files,

Civilization isn’t civilized,
The belief in that is definitely devised,
By the populars leading us to the end of the world,
Not even waiting as the plan is unfurled,
Like the great American Bison was killed on the plains,
Soon we will be just rotting remains,

Civilization isn’t civilized,
It’s just something that was improvised,
Unsustainable by very nature,
Implied by simple nomenclature,
Listen, it’s time for a change,
Let’s come together and rearrange.
