3. Ripe for the Breaking (4:00)
You weren't born with the world falling at your feet
The path is long and agonizing being dragged on your knees
And the silver spoon in your mouth tasted spoilt with rust
When all that glitters isn't gold and fortunes turn to dust
You're prime for the raping
And when you don't pander to meet the agenda
Scavengers start to gather
Perverse visionaries taste the lather
The just rewards in controlled rebellion
Tossed and probed like a gristly piece of meat
Lock, stock, and barrel slave
You just don't contradict big brother
He's got the right to push you under
And they pledge you the earth, then pull you six feet down
And you're branded with the stigma; unusable dropouts
And with inspiration ravaged, you take the final bow
The creative demeanor shatted into a million pieces
You're ripe for the breaking
The path is long and agonizing being dragged on your knees
And the silver spoon in your mouth tasted spoilt with rust
When all that glitters isn't gold and fortunes turn to dust
You're prime for the raping
And when you don't pander to meet the agenda
Scavengers start to gather
Perverse visionaries taste the lather
The just rewards in controlled rebellion
Tossed and probed like a gristly piece of meat
Lock, stock, and barrel slave
You just don't contradict big brother
He's got the right to push you under
And they pledge you the earth, then pull you six feet down
And you're branded with the stigma; unusable dropouts
And with inspiration ravaged, you take the final bow
The creative demeanor shatted into a million pieces
You're ripe for the breaking
