There is a system for the world described in "Brave New World" where human
reproduction is regulated, hence solving the problem of over-population. A
world where people aren't under the rule of a despot that uses fear as its
controlling mechanism, but instead uses rewards, and conditioning to control
what the people do. A world where its the mandatory norm to take a drug
called "Soma" (which provides a counter weight to balance any stress felt by the
system), where casual sex is the norm, and and where you are created to perform
the task, so that you enjoy it and question not the option of any different
lifestyle.
Just as Marilyn Manson used "mechanical animals", I shall use "automata". The
same concept applies to many things. I am an automata. Everyone is an automata.
To point the finger and call certain people automata is hypocritical, I am the
antisocial hermit, the one who yearns for success in machines, and this yearning
separates me from my social peers.
The question is...what is too much organization? What is the meaning of life?
got my guard up for rejection
but i shall be the hermit
i am the victim of random selection
i am not worth it
and I don't fit your standards, and this isn't my kind of game.
Yet I feel so empty, don't you feel the same.
and the cold stares beat me down
no apathy from the comrades
failure to conform
rejection in a stare
I wasn't worth it
i am so nervous, and defensive automatic
and they wouldn't let me
play in any reindeer games
