People compressed by Society's walls
And afraid to try tearing them down.
Floating along in Society's Sea
We must either conform or drown.
Society pressures us not to speak out
Or to do what we think we should.
But to act according to social rules -
This is Society's "good."
We follow Society's rules to the word
For our lives must be spent with Her,
And we notice that more and more,
Day after day, our own lives begin to blur.
We lose our perspective, our goals, our ideals -
We lose our image of "me,"
Until sooner or later we're all alike -
Fish in Society's Sea.
