lifestyle choices

Choose your life. Choose your future
Choose your style. Choose your tutor
Choose the best school, choose an education
Choose to be super cool, choose to rule the nation

Choose to own your exclusive Mayfair mansion
Choose a multi-million gold edged pension
Choose to tour India and learn the sitar
Choose to own Hendrix' unique stratocaster

You wanna choose peace, don't wanna choose war
Wanna choose to run, don't wanna choose to crawl
You wanna choose freedom, don't choose to be raped
You wanna choose your children, don't wanna choose their graves

You wanna choose not to be murdered
Choose not to be one of the herd
You wanna choose to live in the sun
Choose not to hide for fear of the gun
You wanna choose not to die in a cage
Choose to live without unfettered rage
You wanna choose to grow up strong
Choose to not to be told you're always wrong
You wanna choose to read
Wanna choose to write
You wanna choose food for your kids
A meal each morning noon and night

Oh how the Western middle classes
Love to croon their favourite tunes
Freedom of choice, equal opportunity
But less for you and more for me

Do you see? Do you see?
Have you got the sight?
Choice functions as a privilege
Not a goddam right

Lust for life
