lyrics

Caught in the caste of above-average
Constantly off’ring thanks for the privilege
Better than most but not great, they say
This will be all right, this will be OK
And chastise those who disagree
For rewards come to those who serve diligently

Bevy of choices at hand
Seems best to stick with the plan
Who’d rather take their chances with the
Roll of the dice?

Sleep don’t come so just stay awake
Double dose of pills on your breakfast plate
Recover on your next holiday
For now you are all right, for now you are OK
Besides the shrink says your condition is such a bore
Come back when you’ve become something more

Paths cross in the woods – which to take?
The lighted one appears safe
The less-traveled one beckons
It whispers to us
It’s screaming into our ears

Strip the veils off
Lean forth and cough
What will it take to
Stimulate you?
Rip your tongue out
Pinch off your snout
What will it take to
Stimulate you
Sheep?

Doubters, the moment’s at hand
Rise up and say, fuck the plan
You’d rather take your chances with the
Roll of the dice

Strange face stares back in the mirror today
You are not all right, you are not OK
