Grey Matter

(album: Nothing To Fear - 1982)

They say you're stupid
That you're too young to vote
They say you'll swallow anything
That they shove down your throat

They say that you can't think
That you haven't got a brain
That you're just there to listen
That you're just being trained

There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head

They say you lost the ability to even think
That your tiny little brain
Slipped down the kitchen sink

They say that you'll buy anything
That they turn your way
That you'll listen to everything
That they decide to play

There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head

Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...
Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...
Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...
Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...

I think you like it—like it
To be told what to do—ain't that true
I think you're better—better—better off
Stone cold dead—without your head

They say you're stupid
That you're too young to vote
They say you'll swallow anything
That they shove down your throat

If they say, "Lie down," you'll do it
If they say, "Buy it now," you'll do it
If they say, "Turn around," you'll do it
If they say, "Hit the ground," you'll do it
If they say, "Bite the big weenie," you'll do it
If they say, "Wasn't that good?" you'll do it
If they say, "Bend over, baby," you'll do it
If they say, "take it and like it"!

There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head

Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...
Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...
Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...
Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...

Ooh...grey matter...
Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...
Grey matter, grey matter
Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...
Grey matter, grey matter.
