Tall Poppy Syndrome

(album: Tall Poppy Syndrome - 2009)

Since the dawn of society, there have reigned a
number of commandments one must obey to attain
social stability and uniformity.

The commandments are:

You shall not think that you ARE something.
You shall not think that you are equal to US.
You shall not think that you are wiser than US.
You shall not fancy yourself as better than US.
You shall not think that you know more than US.
You shall not think that YOU are good at anything.
You shall not laugh at US.
You shall not think that anyone cares about YOU.
You shall not think that you can teach US anything.

These norms and values have been used to oppress
the free thinkers, making sure that nobody uses their
talent to distinguish themselves from their peers.
