my life is like this channel
it says explore the ultimate question at the top
nothing else i can recognize

how do we get to places like this?

i guess parents' beliefs at first
- in Poland we still have churches
later it depends

in public school, we see the world the way politicians want it
friends from your streets, movies, and ads industry 
can expand it a little or shrink it even more
in the private school 
you learn the dogmas of your elite circle

sometimes with a wise teacher or book
or your first love
you get a feeling of breaking free 
being true

most of the ways out are closed
experts sell your anger 
your revolution is co-opted 
your freedom is used

we live as hundreds and millions
our dreams and gods are the society

they say some of us changed the world in the past
but maybe they just happen to be in the right place
close to the top of the incoming wave
