Be Pure, Be Vigilant, Behave!


Dry throat and shaking in a dark, wet street
Is that footsteps or my own heartbeat?
They got something ‘special’ planned for me
Gunna take me in for head correction therapy
The tattoo on my wrist starts to itch
There’s an eye in the sky and I know it’s…
…Got me filed under Chimpanzee
I dared to question when they told me…

Be Pure!
Be Vigilant!
Behave!

Don’t think too loud coz we can hear you
Don’t smile too wide coz we can see you
Don’t trust yourself coz we could be you
We made this all for you,
We can take this all from you

They got down with their chemical straps
T-T-T Twitching like a little lab rat
Scan me for errors, Scan me for bugs
Are they veins?, Are they wires?, Are they pulling the plug
Static crackle, Less and less real
Brake the feral with clinical zeal
For my own good, a factory reset
I was all wrong, Now I’m all better!
