The Code

Bodacious Dissenter

When they say you need a mom and dad
It’s in the code!
When they say you gotta go to school
It’s in the code!
When they say having no job is bad
It’s in the code!
When they say that a career is cool
It’s in the code!

Am I really free?
Is this what life’s supposed to be?
Am I really free…
To have desires that are close to me?

When they say you gotta marry your spouse,
It’s in the code!
When they say you have to have a ton of kids
It’s in the code!
When they say you need a car or a house,
It’s in the code!
When they’re giving you the purchasing tips,
It’s in the code!

Am I really free?
Is this everything I have to see?
Am I really free?
Or should I let it all pass from me?
Am I really free?
Is this what it’s all supposed to be?
Am I really free…
To go resist what is opposed to me?
