Passive Culture



Passive all the way

North America teaches it everyday

No direct confrontation

Talking behind backs is the real situation

Friendly faces with malicious intent

Shrinks are the only sources to vent

Pay a couple hundred

To hear all your prayers

d*mn this all doesn't seem fair

Where's that aggression a man needs to show

Better to find a good source of blow

Cause Passive means nice

Chit-chatting like mice

But when sh*t gets real

Everyone runs in fear

Passive culture so low

Leads no room to grow

Wow so much frustration

Once again avoiding the situation

God forbid someone's feelings get hurt

Their self-esteem sucks

Your words will put them in dirt

No wonder things never get done

The drama keeps building

And no one has won
