institution green

institution green

the walls are cracked and dim

and we are standing in a line

waiting for our faces to be seen

institution green

watch the floor and cound the hours

none will meet my eyes

private people in this public place

i wonder if they'll take a look

find my name inside that book

lose me on the printed page

where to point the aimless rage

i cast my vote upon this earth

take my place for what it's worth

hunger for a pair of eyes

to notice and to regognize

institution green

a woman stands behind a table

she will call my name

after that i'll be admitted in

i wonder if she'll take a look

find my name inside that book

lose me on the printed page

where to point the aimless rage

i cast my vote upon this earth

take my place for what it's worth

hunger for a pair of eyes

to notice and to regognize

institution green

teach me how to pull the lever

push the curtain closed

take what's needed then just

let me go
