White Picket Fences

There once was a boy who sat in a box
 For twenty-some years 'til they shipped him off
 To a brand new box but that's okay
 Cause the love of his life who became his bride
 Would stand by his side before he put her aside
 Now she cries over puddles of spilled pride but that's okay
 And they raised a child to think for himself
 'Til he questioned God then he needed help
 So they got that prescription filled and now that's okay
 And every day they wake and they open their eyes
 And they put on their masks and they go outside
 And they hide what's inside from a world they despise
 But that's okay
 It's alright, it's okay
 All in all, it's disarrayed
 It's the same thing every day
 And that's okay
 It's alright, it's okay
 All in all, what can you say?
 Is it ever gonna change
 If it's okay?
 So they live behind a white picket fence
 Where their rules were set by the government
 Through a pixel box that makes no sense but that's okay
 Daddy slaves away so the bills get paid
 Mommy finds new ways to sedate the pain
 While little what's-his-name plays video games and that's okay
 When you're glued in front of a flat TV
 Where you'll never question authority
 You'll just be all that you can be but that's okay
 So you fall in line thinking you don't care
 While you run in circles and get nowhere
 Then you'll wonder how you ended up there but that's okay
 It's alright, it's okay
 They look just like you and me
 Flailing in their misery
 And that's okay
 It's alright, it's okay
 When it's all work and no play
 It makes Jack a real dollboy
 But that's okay
 Now they're all caught up in the same routine
 While they're chasing down some elusive dream
 In the scheme of things, it seems obscene but that's okay
 Cause the kid's in school but he cannot think
 While his mom's handcuffed to the kitchen sink
 And his dad's in love when he has a drink but that's okay
 And he says "My son, if you only knew
 What that cereal box has in store for you
 You'd be drinking coffee too and that's okay"
 Cause they might be black or they might be white
 And they might be left or they might be right
 But they all lose sight in the end and that's okay
 It's alright, it's okay
 In the land of liberty
 Where there's nothing really free
 And that's okay
 It's alright, it's okay
 That's the way it's gotta be
 When we all end up the same
 And that's okay
 Cause we've got ourselves to blame but that's okay
 Gonna find another way if that's okay
