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
