Mastering The List

(album: The Resignation - 2003)

Don't be afraid because there is no escape
And it won't be long now, won't be long now
They got you thinking
What you wanna believe
Just to fall with no better way
When you wear the right clothes
Sing the right songs
You're tuning and plugging out
When you drive the right car
And you digging the right crowd
Tune in and plug it out

Came looking here for answers and all you found was

Questions for forgiveness
We're giving ourselves away
Human life replacement
Love is gone to waste
Questions for forgiveness
We're giving ourselves away
Human life replacement
Love is gone to waste but now

We're finding out
That we know better
No number will ever replace me
We're finding out
That we know better
No number will ever replace

First comes the school then comes the job
Wife and two kids and a family car
We're all falling in line and waiting to die
And for what?
A plaque on the wall and another numeral
On a corporate statistic of a government chart
You know I don't need no read-out for the beat of my heart
You might as well get a barcode tattooed on your arm
Cause convenience has strangled art in every form, yeah
