What are we going to do
With this common sense
Who never cooperates to be categorized
Let’s put it in a cage
A cage with glass walls
And we would polish it each day
From recent scribbled lines
We would make diagnoses
On its ambivalent behaviour
Treat it with genetic engineering
Force it to compete in some
Japanese game show with celebrities
And then analyze the results
While the feelings are running wild and free
On the streets
Downtown
Crumble people’s self-esteem into mosaics
Of self-confidence
The answer and solution was
Never to be found in a fruit from the tree
Obviously
The harvest only contained some Apple products
This post-modern society
wasn’t supposed to produce nihilists
But what could you expect
when they broke up your fourth wall
And decorated the whole room
with the shards, those shards
and turned it into a mirror
and I’ll be your mirror
I’ll be your mirror”
