Patronize

There was a time When you used to think That you could conquer all the world But you grow up and before you know You're not that brave anymore Fear is the shortest way For you to compromise your dreams Wait for another day To say it wasn't what it seemed The clown on TV was a drug-addicted Santa Claus a way to sell more Coke And cotton candy were not really clouds There's nothing in the rainbow Conformism is the way For you to patronize the scheme Another time and place Better go with the stream You'll never get to be the president You'll never talk to the girl next door You've got know what you're up against Each day is harder than the one before Hiding in the darkest place It will only make the monster eager Maybe it's a brand-new day For you to search for something deeper
