Lyrics, to avoid an app:

[Verse 1] Gonna put you on a forgotten street Give you a lecture about something obsolete Gonna teach you about the freedom of speech Then they’re gonna come and take away the freedom of speech

Gonna write a song with your point of view Manufacture feelings that feel for you Sung by men who would flog playground juuls, preachy Preeten peacock pecking order they didn’t choose [Refrain] Such is life (x4)

[Verse 2] Gonna lobby to bloat up a cash cow Feed you poison that they want to allow Then they wrap it up with a pretty bow And then hook you when you’re a baby and you don’t even know

Gonna give you another group to hate Build a scapegoat thеn they give it a face Nothin’ to do with rеligion or race But it’s corporate politics that got us into this place

[Outro] Such is life, Such is life! Such is life, So choose life So choose liiiife, choose liiiife! So choose liiiife, choose liiiife Such is life (x4)

I watched the 3rd only for the sake of completion. I found the whole trilogy just okay. Fine as a summer movie but that’s it

I find it kind of creepy. And, ultimately, because of the legacy of things like power(mad) mods, disappointing. Excessive participation leads to possessiveness and all that
