Rebel Sell

Am I really perpetuating Capitalism,
By purchasing in a rebelious way?
And if I don't purchase at all I am perpetrating,
A short road to Anarchy, you say?

No, not quite, it's only when I ignore rules,
Because rules are necessary,
To avoid the embarrassment of not knowing what others will do,
In situations that should be ordinary.

And, further, there is no subconscious to repress,
Because, ultimately, what you see's what you get.
So the only way we will all live together,
Is to work with the system we've all inherited.

Is it alright,
If I disagree on at least one thing?
If we are only left to work within the system,
How the fuck am I supposed to feed my family?
