Danny likes standing out from the crowd
So he can make his friends and all his family proud
Julie sways where nobody's allowed
Has anything she wants, always talking too loud
Debby's hungry, need to go supersize
Made sure to spare a penny for the homeless outside
Jack will find the woman of his life
Gotta study, work hard to get the power to buy
Approval junkies, attention whores
A bunch of gullible monkeys, brought up for war
What makes you think you're doing your best?
If all is love, your love is blind
Let all the empty craving collapse
And leave the competition behind
Don't wait to see you're failing the test
To rearrange your meaning for pride
What makes you think you're doing your best?
Just think about it while there's time
Mike likes being handsomely dressed
Has taken out a loan and is drowning in debt
Been taught the value of success
In order to have plenty, someone's gotta get less
Sue likes oil painting so much
But shouldn't be an artist 'cause the money comes first
Daddy always seems deeply crushed
But deep inside regrets having bought her first brush
Oh can't you see, the massive gap
Between the ones that build, and the ones that clap
What makes you think you're doing your best?
If all is love, your love is blind
Let all the empty craving collapse
And leave the competition behind
Don't wait to see you're failing the test
On selfishness and money combined
What makes you think you're doing your best?
Just think about it while there's time
Now it's time to open up your eyes
To open up your eye, you open up your hey!
Now it's time to open up your eyes
You open your third eye, you open up your hey!
What makes you think you're doing your best
You think you're doing your best but all your love is blind
And love should make us kind when empty craving collapse
I wanna see it collapse with all that money can buy
When you are failing the test, man you are failing the test
You think you're doing your best but all your love is blind
And we can work just fine when empty craving collapse
This system must collapse and slavery go flat-line
