Love
Is a passion
Designed
To break control

Friendship
Is a distraction
Designed
To drug the soul

Ignorance and happiness
It lasted for a while;
It lasted 'till the Nazis came
And bashed out my smile

Life
It is a burden
That's awfully
Rigged and Flawed

And I
Am just a slave
Who is not
Grateful to god
