That hard work will win
That poverty is by choice
That productivity is a moral good
That you can defy statistics
That classism doesn't exist
That people aren't biased
And that anyone can be on the top
But the truth isn't romantic
Life is more important than work
There are things we can't control
Most of us aren't exceptional
The wealthy benefit from the poor
The system keeps you in your place
And work isn't why you are valuable.
