Chained By Responsibility

Life is overwhelming,
There's no doubting that.
I'm not sure society's ever dropped,
So many tasks on people in the past.

What's the worth of a life,
That is not your own,
But instead belongs to responsibilities,
Constructed to keep you at home?

And even without those the choices are few,
Without the money to allow the freedom,
To follow your bliss, but then let's be honest,
You'd probably just get drunk and pop vicodin.

And it's alright,
You might just do something with meaning,
Though in the context of this society,
I doubt it will change many human beings.
