You Brought It Upon Yourselves Songtext
Every sane society allows a certain number of people to deviate
You don′t have to join, you don't have to play the game
A society which is insane and unsure of itself
Cannot allow that to happen
It says everybody must join
Every body must work
Everybody must belong
Then freedom disappears
You can go running around the wheel in the rat race
And play that game, just as long as you want to
So long you think is fun
But if it comes a time when you don′t think it's fun
You don't have to do it
On Earth, everywhere you go, the temperature is 75 degrees
Everything is the same
All the people are exactly the same
Now, what kind of life is that?
Because theres not going to be any trees
Now you think about that
When a society allows a certain number of people to withdraw
It should have no anxiety that everybody would want to withdraw
′Cause some people are absolutely fascinated
In competition, in being involved and playing the game
And then have to be people who stand outside the game
And do not identify themselves
With a name, with an ego, with a persona
Every sane society allows a certain number of people to deviate
You don′t have to join, you don't have to play the game
A society which is insane and unsure of itself
Cannot allow that to happen
It says everybody must join
Every body must work
Everybody must belong
Then freedom disappears
You don′t have to join, you don't have to play the game
A society which is insane and unsure of itself
Cannot allow that to happen
You don′t have to join, you don't have to play the game
A society which is insane and unsure of itself
Cannot allow that to happen
It says everybody must join
Every body must work
Everybody must belong
Then freedom disappears
You can go running around the wheel in the rat race
And play that game, just as long as you want to
So long you think is fun
But if it comes a time when you don′t think it's fun
You don't have to do it
On Earth, everywhere you go, the temperature is 75 degrees
Everything is the same
All the people are exactly the same
Now, what kind of life is that?
Because theres not going to be any trees
Now you think about that
When a society allows a certain number of people to withdraw
It should have no anxiety that everybody would want to withdraw
′Cause some people are absolutely fascinated
In competition, in being involved and playing the game
And then have to be people who stand outside the game
And do not identify themselves
With a name, with an ego, with a persona
Every sane society allows a certain number of people to deviate
You don′t have to join, you don't have to play the game
A society which is insane and unsure of itself
Cannot allow that to happen
It says everybody must join
Every body must work
Everybody must belong
Then freedom disappears
You don′t have to join, you don't have to play the game
A society which is insane and unsure of itself
Cannot allow that to happen
