Know your place in life is where you want to be
Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me
Keep on looking forward, no use in looking 'round
Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you down
Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
We marvel after those who sought
New wonders in the world, wonders in the world,
Wonders in the world they wrought
Live for yourself, there's no one else
More worth living for
Begging hands and bleeding hearts will
Only cry out for more
Well, I know they've always told you
Selfishness was wrong
Yet it was for me, not you, I
Came to write this song
Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me
Keep on looking forward, no use in looking 'round
Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you down
Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
We marvel after those who sought
New wonders in the world, wonders in the world,
Wonders in the world they wrought
Live for yourself, there's no one else
More worth living for
Begging hands and bleeding hearts will
Only cry out for more
Well, I know they've always told you
Selfishness was wrong
Yet it was for me, not you, I

An overweight person chooses that extra jelly donut because they place more value on the pleasure of the moment rather than having an excellent physique. Yet they bemoan their undesireable current circumstance and say that life is not fair. They are exactly where they are because that is truly where they want to be, and their actions reflect that fact. They are unwilling to do the more difficult thing for the long term benefit. If they are in an impoverished state due to lack of employment and subsequently money, they exist in that state because it is acceptable to them given the alternative of working for extra money to have a better life yet they complain that life is not fair and they are unlucky, the fact is they are unwilling to do the more difficult thing and improve their value to the marketplace by improving themselves through education or whatever is necessary to bring them more money. You are who you are and what you are because in the end that is truly where you want to be.
Long Hair Country Boy is another good libertarian song from CBD.
My guess would be Marxism. So many idiots these days seem to be going down that idiotic road.
but fuck yeah
this song was the start to the first of many albums that include the brilliance of neal peart
