States Of Mind

Ohh, I am tireless, sub zero, comin' from the wireless
Won't be no scenery, no part of the machinery
I go on and on but never below
So, now you see me and know, you can check it and go

'Cause I'm so bored that I can't even pretend no more
It's so pathetic that I'm rolling around on the floor
Laughing at one big gag
And every now and then they pull another rabbit out of the bag

Of sad diversions, useless tedious excursions
Roll into unrealistic, crypto-fascistic
Comedy doctrine, kick the ballistics
Again and again and again, just say when

Ya had enough, sad enough or mad enough
To do something simple and kind
Now is the time
A change of state of mind

I am a loner, a zoner, I utilize the microphone
And if they try a tap, I leave 'em hangin' on the telephone
Wasted, so wasted, so
They're waiting for the visitors so they can go and try again

On the next step, on the next one
Come on and get some, jet some, static
Solid state, automatic
Sporadic and random 'cause nobody planned 'em

Anarchy, free thought can't be bought
So, disregard the lessons and the shit you've been taught
I'm saying it and now they're playing it to me
Larger than life every day and this is what they say

Shut your mouth and get back in line
And if you don't like it, well, it suits us just fine
We pull the levers, we hold the strings
And these are just a few of our favorite things

Learn the words of the company song
White is right is right is strong, come on children all sing along
'Cause if you think you can change
You were never more wrong

No, fuck that, you won't take me, you won't break me
And you'll never make me, step in line and step march in time
Well, you can violate my body but my soul is still mine
You must think that I'm fucking stupid, man

If you think I'm gonna hang with the program, some fool schedule
I don't give a shit about what is or isn't cool
I make the rules, I stand alone
And if they try a tap, I leave 'em hangin' on the telephone

One of these days I'm gonna get sectioned
I bet they even say it's for my own protection
Rejection leads straight to correction
Look out, here comes a strange injection

They've got a drug to numb my erection
But they won't take this from me
My state of mind, it won't change me
My state of mind, state of mind

Ohh, change me, ohh, change my fate
State of mind
