The mechanism of humanity is society, and values
It wants you to surrender, everything you hold dear
Whether in crisis or in a golden age, your choices are clear
The society wants you to give over your natural born rights
Conformity is toxic, the most poisonous choice in your life
For it transfers your agency, your individual soul
And the corporate body of civilization requires obedience
But we've a fire inside, one given by the titan Prometheus
Choose to keep your rights, even if governance is moral
It won't always be, and you've just one life as a mortal
Prometheus shared with humans the gift of fire
Only to be condemned to being tortured in Tartarus
It was a punishment considered to be brutal
For Prometheus was a being, who was immortal
