Deranged Optimism from 2020 by Infected Religion

Blinded by your hopes and dreams
Dive into the shallow stream
Ignore the spreading disrepair
Ignore the millions in despair

Exploiting promise
Of mobility
Ideology aligned
Into conformity

Navigate the academy
Enter the shrinking economy
Depression, self-hate, year by year
Funeral for your career

Exploiting promise
Of security
Realign your interests
With the plutocracy

Qualified for naught

Deranged game

Resent all you were taught

Debt remains

Capitalism
In decline
To poverty
You are consigned

Insecure
Not your fault
Flawed structure
Fails us all

Ecosphere
Facing collapse
Oblivious
Professional class

Rigged and rotten
Broken system
Exploiting naive plans

Abandoning
A Generation
Transformed into a scam

Status quo preserved in vain
Final gasps of a pointless game
To face the growing insecurities
Hope aligns with reality
