sometimes i have problems relating to batman
a billionaire in a bondage suit stomping the destitute with freudian jackboots
then i realize he's an anarchist radical in disguise
he probably listens to in my eyes
of course it feels better when you realize a punk can fly
why do you do just what they told you?
you split the baby just to please the crutch of desperate mothers out for blood
sometimes i gut and skin those who cannot reconcile my stance
then i press my calloused flesh to someone who's out of my league
and knowingly laugh knowing life is transcending heat-death and its aftermath
why do you do just what they told you?
you split the baby just to please the crutch of desperate mothers out for blood
why do you do just what they told you?
i think it's a crying shame that you're not at this show
because i'm trying to tap into something you reluctantly know
don't jam it in private so all your co-workers won't know
nobody's watching over you
you can nod your head precious
we can drown out the daytime soap you live
and the ghosts you've been mourning
i know we keep plugging away at the same octave chords
we only know octave chords
a career built on octave chords
but it's the frightfully mundane that keeps us alive
