It’s a funny thing to listen to; their deep life concerns.
One group they speak of money, the other, earth worms.
Made of all the same material, and breathe the same air.
But for one the effects of life show far less ware.

Innocence is bliss, a seemingly careless existence.
But when given the opportunity we put up resistance.
The older we get, the less innocent we are.
Until we reach a point where we’ve just gone too far.

There’s no turning back, once you’ve stepped through the gate.
If you panic and turn back, you’ll find it too late.
You will now be in a world, where it’s difficult to make sense.
Even worse still, now your actions have consequence.

When making headway in this world, things will seem quite crazy.
You could be stripped of your liberty if you are ignorant or lazy.
Too steady you’re footing, there are some decisions you should make;
What is right, what is wrong, when to give and when to take.

Too many of us now, these things seem quite petty.
But without them in place you’d find life unsteady.
To those who are new here, don’t fear it too much.
You’re not completely alone, you do have a crutch.

There are things you have learned, that will quicken your mind.
Search back through your memory, and help you will find.
You’ll realize you were quite controlled, until your coming of age.
You were only a puppet, and the world was your stage.
