lyrics

Recall

The company sent me a notice of a factory recall on my brain. It seems my model had difficulty navigating rough terrain. It had a tendency to go insane, thought too much and overheated, blew gaskets, spit out sprockets and was generally fucked.

They said, “bring yourself down to the shop and our trained professionals will fix you up. It’ll only take about an hour, a matter of soldering a couple wires.” So I packed me a lunch and a magazine, took me a bus to the factory. They put me under with really good drugs. When I awoke, I was completely un-fucked.

Now I’m light as a feather. I only talk about the weather. And nothing really matters to me, to me. Nothing really matters to me.

Now I don’t worry about society, morality or the stuff in the air we breathe. I cancelled my subscription to the Utne Reader. If it weren’t for the bible, I wouldn’t read at all. I work all week to earn a paycheque, blow it in a day at the shopping mall, spend my free time in front of the tube ‘cos i can’t think of anything else to do.

So if you find yourself depressed due to your heightened consciousness, troubled by the degree of control exercised by your government, and you’re frustrated in your pursuit of truth, question belief and require proof, then you’re obviously broken and should be fixed before you do something dangerous.

You’ll feel light as a feather. You’ll only talk about the weather. You’ll be happy being stupid like me, like me. You’ll be happy being stupid like me.
