Never Enuff Rush! Brought Up to Believe is cynicism distilled.
Quote:I was brought up to believeThis one could go in any number of directions: a kind of "roll to disbelieve" defensive effect, Induce Cynicism, Induce Blind Faith, and Induce Toxic Shame (pathologically negative self-regard, "the pain that I receive must be what I deserve") are the four options most obvious to me. Thoughts?
The universe has a plan
We are only human
It's not ours to understand
The universe has a plan
All is for the best
Some will be rewarded
And the devil take the rest
All is for the best
Believe in what we're told
Blind men in the market
Buying what we're sold
Believe in what we're told
Until our final breath
While our loving Watchmaker
Loves us all to death
In a world of cut and thrust
I was always taught to trust
In a world where all must fail
Heaven's justice will prevail
The joy and pain that we receive
Each comes with its own cost
The price of what we're winning
Is the same as what we've lost
Until our final breath
The joy and pain that we receive
Must be what we deserve
I was brought up to believe
