The Missing Link Lyrics

An integral sense comes
With belonging to a scene
Supposedly absent of barriers
(When sexism is only
One of many).

Earnest words
Calling for unity of the sexes
When she's still the chick, or stupid bitch
(Ridiculed for showing an interest).

Hidden indifference
Strikes an emotion reaction
When you see an animal being abused.

Yet un-noticed when a woman
Is abused
In the same way.

The links of oppression
Stem from the same degradation
But to one,
Our eyes remain closed.

Actively abusing the rights of one
Whilst fighting
For those of another.

The "scene" may hold a different name,
But the roleplays just the same.
Equal rights are fine,
As long as she's in her place.

Outrightly denouncing fascism,
Whilst oblivious to it taking place,
Is condemnation of standards,
All an act to save face.

Unity, a stark ambition
When our abuse
Surpasses recognition.

Your aspirations, unable to stretch,
Beyond the barriers of what's expected,
As the free thought you were born with
Becomes externally polluted.

Lose sight of your ideals
In their brainwashing institutions,
Predetermine your values
To befit
Your substandard existence...
Discouraging creativity,
To aim for empty ambitions.

Living up to others' expectations.
Takes hold of your assiduity.

Mentally murdered!

The will to succeed
Overpowers the will to resist.

Mentally murdered!

Always up to the mark,
Set the wheels in motion,
A fake sense of security
From your invariable position.

Sinking in the crowd,
A face minus expression.
A mouth that echoes words,
Recycled from tradition.

Your only contentness
Is in living a lie.

Mentally murdered!

Do you possess the strength
To re-create your own life?

Mentally murdered!?!?
