I Believed Lyrics

My name is Christian Tollefsen, I'm 21 years old

I enjoy a life of abundance with perhaps a century to go

My house is about two miles out from the old Lake Michigan shoreline

Safely apart from Renaissance City the Chicago of old, back in time

According to the Quantum Network – the authority for historical facts

Capitalism was unfairly demonized, ironically, for its glaring success

Automation and wealth concentration displaced the lowly masses

Now the feds supply them everything with free lifetime passes

I believed everything that I was told

I, I, I believed

I believed everything that I was told

I, I, I believed

I believed everything that I was told

Father designed the modular units that house the poor

Generous space for a family of two, cheap to build and add more

We take care of our lesser brothers, including my non-compliant peers

But maintaining standards for the underclass is a numbers game every year

I've never been to the city myself though I hear it's kind of a rave

People are free to do as they please and are simply asked to behave

My ultraclass status is not a free ticket – in fact, we're all on the clock

We must contribute enough to the wealth because there's limited room at the top

I believed everything that I was told

I, I, I believed

I believed everything that I was told

I, I, I believed

I believed everything that I was told
