Open your eyes

and turn off your mind,

step right up folks

and you will find.

A growing trend,

an epidemic.

Spread with Zen

and hypodermics.

Just close your mind,

you can find all you need

with your eyes.

The big machines take care of you

until you kill yourself.

And then the sales go through the roof,

calculated, formulated.

Feed my head with simple thoughts

and let me breathe instead of being taught,

all bottled up and tearing at the seams.

I'm bored, just let me breathe.

A daily dose of eMpTyV

will flush your mind right down the drain.

Shannon Hoon and Kurt Cobain,

make yourself a household name.

Just close your mind,

you can find all you need

with your eyes.

The big machines take care of you

until you kill yourself.

And then the sales go through the roof,

calculated, formulated.

Feed my head with simple thoughts

and let me breathe instead of being taught,

all bottled up and tearing at the seams.

I'm bored, just let me breathe.

Strike up your best

angst ridden posture,

manufactured anger!

Let's not forget my legacy,

all my heroes have failed me.

Now they're dead and buried!

Just close your mind,

you can find all you need

with your eyes.

The big machines

will take care of you

until the fashion fades

and the checks go through.

My bankroll's red

and my face is blue,

and still they'll turn their

backs on you for someone new.

Feed my head with some real thoughts

And let me think instead of being taught,

I'll say things you won't believe.

Just stand back, just let me breathe!
