The Die Is Cast

why do some people say that our fate is written? that this script is already read and that the die is cast? why do we all blindly believe what they tell us 'bout you and me if only we know how good we are and how we want to live? our role is simply clear and we sadly accept it, don't you see? is better trying not to be out of tune, "what will people say?" we work for people that we hate, our value is being squandered. we have everything to say and everything to gain. say loud and clear that we are here. we live in fear, that's for sure, (we) resign ourselves to being used as inert matte-paintings with nothing to say even if it's true. we are the chroma-key, the drama starts, the audience's here. the role is clear; we sadly accept it. i don't know about you, but i think that's enough complaints. don't hide behind the excuse of "i can't change a thing". why do we all blindly believe what they tell us 'bout you and me? there's not a bandage on our eyes. why do we all blindly believe? we work for people that we hate. our value is being squandered. we have everything to say and everything to gain. say loud and clear that we are here. the drama starts, the audience waits. say loud and clear that we are here.
