Rites Of Passage Lyrics

I was promised freedom and I was promised meaning
Didn't think to question what I didn't know I believed in
Maybe I didn't see where I was going, maybe I didn't care
Whatever the reason, I foundmy own way here

And this is the reward I get?
A pension-plan and a pat on the head
I can't believe that I was so easily misled
Adult, means better off dead

You'd better learn this lesson well
Neglect yourself or spend eternity in hell
Work hard to keep your passions under control,
if they're still alive
To enter sacred adulthood, let your desired die
