The Sacrifice in the System - Gen z

Let's play a game
You'll be the audience, totally unaffected
I'll be the narrator, certainly not a manipulator

Let's play a game, where you are not the player but the subject nonetheless.
Well you see, to control you was pretty easy
All I needed was to embed myself into your superiors, and then make them dictate your life
What a beautiful story

Let's play a game
Where I'll influence your parents' minds, build a monopoly in the name of meritocratic education
Then I'll slowly shift the game from knowledge to making solutions

Oh I see you're a bit confused, don't worry — this game was never about you You're not the player, you're the subject.
You're not the controller, nor the controlled, you're just the sacrifice needed for the big brother to earn.

Let's play a game, where the numbers are funny.
The guy with the degree is worth the same as the guy with no money.
Oh wait I'm sorry, I forgot to mention — you're worth genuinely less, because you also have student debt, haha.

Let's play a game, where I'll blame the dictator and the socialist commie ( the guy with the brain )
I'll be the fascist with a red face and a yellow wig.
I'll sell you grand ideals about freedom, gut your government, manipulate your education.
Then I'll ship you overseas, where you will play the game on repeat.

I'll be the fascist that blames the commie.
You see, he's too busy playing reality.

I'll compare you with the guy who found real problems and built real markets around them.
I'll blame him, because obviously I'm not capable of doing the same.
I'll sell you the idea of freedom, the great liberal promise of education — all the while comparing you with the yellow people.

Oh, apologies if I'm racist, that's just me.
You're not worth a penny, after all you're gen z.

I'm better, you see — for I sold your parents the game, and you became the sacrificial sheep.

Let's play reality, where capitalism is king, you're not the product but certainly the one being traded.
Haha, you're gen z.
