Lose as Directed

Little girl's arms open wide
Two ways to go but you can't decide
Follows all rules has no say
Ends up in somebody else's play
Close your eyes 'cause you just don't need them anyway

Lose as directed don't take no chance
Don't end your life upon circumstance
Mystery and misery go hand in hand
So you better follow the master plan
Don't use your head, lose as directed

Little boy sitting in his master's arms
Safe and protected from any harm
Wants to be a man, wants to branch out
But he's told not to ask questions or doubt
Close your mind, it's a book of instructions now

Lose as directed, don't take no chance
Don't end your life upon circumstance
Mystery and misery go hand in hand
So you better follow the master plan
Don't use your head, lose as directed
Lose as directed, let's go

Monkey see, monkey do
Just another animal in the zoo
Got four wall security
Never even have to read a recipe
But it's not exactly what you would call free

Lose as directed, don't take no chance
Don't end your life upon circumstance
Mystery and misery go hand in hand
So you better follow the master plan
Don't use your head, lose as directed

Lose as directed, lose as directed
Lose as directed, lose as directed
Lose as directed, you lose
