lyrics

There are some things you shouldn’t see
Like horrific violence on a color T.V.
But if you think it ain’t that bad,
Believe me, babe, just ask around
There’s nothing wrong with being wrong
Where everyone can see
And just because it’s in a song
It doesn’t mean a thing

We all know what you’re doing here
But it’s a shame to call you out
You don’t know what to do with fear
So you whine, and you moan, and explode

Go look at your face
It’s there in the fire
It’s hiding away somewhere for me to find
The patterns have changed
They’re barely alive
Your planet will wait for you until it’s time
All you can eat for some portion control
My culture hasn’t caught me yet

The mammals reach out
But what will they find there?
The water’s a great place to escape to

Turn me on
Turn me back off
No more modern games
I can’t feel my face now
My babies can wait, my babies can wait
My babies can wait for us to sort this out

There are some things you shouldn’t see
Like horrific violence on a color T.V.
But if you think it ain’t that bad,
Believe me, babe, just ask around
There’s nothing wrong with being wrong
Where everyone can see
And just because it’s in a song
It doesn’t mean a thing

(Resolve to evolve
All the phyla involved
The monkey in our minds
Will empower us all)
