Lyrics
Complete
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Dedication is the price you pay;
The initiated are coddled and caged
Before you walk, as soon as you crawl
Hope is pointless when you're stuck in the trawl
Fuck the freshman lectures and brandishments
They just betray impoverished accomplishments
The puppet masters fear originality
They tighten up the tethers and they shackle your feet
Submission complete
Young recruits never have a chance,
Enticed to the drill, admonished to dance
Early to rise and early to shine,
Life is long but the end is night
Break the guilty trammels from yesteryear
Remember how rejuvenation conquers all fears
Lowly opportunitists take commanding roles
And hawk ultimatums so their weakness won't show
The sad reflection of dead ambition
You live for nothing. Submission complete.
Yeah, break the guilty trammels from yesteryear
Remember how the taste of failure makes it all clear
The lowly opportunitists take commanding roles
And hawk ultimatums so their weakness won't show
The sad reflection of dead ambition
You live for nothing
Expectation, indoctrination,
Life's damnation. Submission complete
Dying on your feet
Submission complete
A total defeat
