Join with me, wrap around the sounds and dance with me
John Travolta in greaser ghetto on E Street. Somewhere a good fellow
Is getting shot through the brain; it's insane, I know it's a given
But feeling the spirits within just got a little more posh than Britain
They wear simple clothing with lots of trinkets, they play tennis,
Drink highballs and smoke cloves in the popular cove at Millen's
Where lots of poets and know-it-all's commune and talk about the world
And what they can do to make it better, and whether or not they're correct is the point
One hollow, straight edge, ever-forgetful voice--
They call it reason, the season of mist cloaks over its resonance
For ignorance is bliss. So just chill with me for a moment and take it all in.
It's not like I'm trying to lecture but more or less trying to make a point
If you have a voice youd like the world to hear then stow it, no one cares
And that's the situation we're living in today; like god given, existential pay raise
Were rich and important, but never really there. Some dead poets society rip off
It's not like it's the teacher who has to make the grade, but some stoner with his wig off
Trying to pass as an intellectual, but really more like a cavalier
Send him to Europe, label him a queer and cut off his fucking ear.
It's a state of being I can easily identify with from one pissed off teen to another
That's life bitch, so stop your moaning and crying, teary-eyed whining
Before I give you something worth crying about
In a loud clear voice, I will reveal to you; theres nothing left to conceal from you.
Believe me, I can understand your pain, it's just that I dont feel its necessary to refrain
From telling you the way life, from my understanding, truly is, because in this biz
It doesn't pay to lie, and tears aren't payment, so dont you dare try to cry
To gain sympathy from me, for only your words can absolve yourself in this situation
So try a little reason to your tired motivation. Just flip it, tuck up that lip and zip it
Forty years from ain't a soul alive who's going to give a shit, I'm sick of it.
