lyrics

Got me a broken ideal
and I don't know what to stand for
in this world full of opinions and their minions
and the other ones who think
that I'm trying to be part of something

Part of a thinking group like you,
like them, like us, part of the mass
in a massive intermission
between thinking and creation,
not to mention the effect of
pop-corn models on our minds
and the price tags we put on our creative time
And it's obscure, but it's the way you had it coming
when you said "I won't be compromised"
yet had a family, with a couple of mouths to feed
you forget about your need
to be out of the machine
that's already killed your dream

You play expressionless four chords
of their choice to match the voice
of a pin-up whore that could never ask for more
What about you Mr.Burnitall?

Now you'll just say:
"As years pass such a fir cannot last!"
Well I don't know, I've been planning my road
to a non-conformist, pointless way of living
Hit me with the fact that I'm spending money
that my dad made out of nothing
and I know we could have less,
while others more in need lived decently

And so... the question remains.
Still I don't approve of choices that he made for us
but I cannot help acknowledging a single fact:
that he gave me time to learn to think for myself
and i admire that he made it fair and square,
as far as he could tell. And I am scared as hell
of making a mockery out of every song I tell.
It's a simple procedure, everybody
