lyrics

Now go to school to achieve
Borrow money
Have a dream
Show some pride, work hard and take heed
You'll soar with this degree

Now get a job
Wear a tie
Earn some money
Learn to lie
Keep staff comping
Gain wage
Climb the ladder as you age

Now buy a house
To display your stability and pay
Watch your bold amended shelter lie vacant most of the day

Now watch TV
Slate routine
Spend some money
Live the dream
Dull your thoughts
Hold your breath
Produce and consume until death

Life of fruitless service
Life of obedience
Life of constant earning
Constant burning
Constant yearning

And so here we are
Face first in the pleasing lure of modern comforts
To be fulfilled
To be content
To feel like more than slaves

We are oppressed and gently pacified
We are deceived
Adeptly mystified
Our greatest truths are owned by monsters wearing nice ties
