I Hear And Obey

(music arcwelder/words w. graber & s. macdonald)



It's not bill

And it's not scott

It's not brian

And it's not rob

I don't know where to begin...



Begin where it's simple

Begin at the end

Begin with all you can't defend

Begin at the end...



And disappointment bring the least

Well this is less the you conceived

It ends with the first



Before the beginning

And after the end

It can't be funny

It didn't bend

I didn't want this at all... at all... at all.



A blindered horse a wind up toy

I'm on auto pilot i am a cog in the machine

Am i a mindless drone or heartless sap

Now matter how you slice it i am a cog in the machine



They say to stay in school then get a job

But mainstream society doesn't care if your happy

I play the fool go with the mob

Corporate america doesn't care if i'm happy



Settle down and play along

Die unfulfilled just like anybody else

And well now damn it now i live a lie

Write it down i'm not like everybody else



Today i march along i follow blindly

I do what they tell me i hear and obey

I sing my song i treat 'em kindly

You are my master i hear and obey



I didn't want it... it's all the same no face no name

I didn't want it... it's all the same big town small game

I didn't want it... it's all the same no risk no gain

I didn't want it... it's all the same big weight small frame
