I feel numb |
|
And think we're half asleep |
|
Our collective sense of outrage |
|
Has gone the way dodo birds and |
|
Model T's |
|
We're being trained |
|
We tell them what they want just to appease |
|
It's the end of absolutes |
|
Welcome to the death of meaning |
|
Mice will run a maze for cheese |
|
Koko signs her |
|
A - B - C's we think she's talking to her kitten in the corner |
|
Pavlov's dogs would drool if they could hear their chiming cue |
|
Just like them we've been conditioned |
|
We're going dumb |
|
Have we forgotten how to speak |
|
Would mute cries fall on deafened ears |
|
If we could get ourselves to give voice to our pleas |
|
We're so well trained |
|
That's the way it is and so we'll let it be |
|
If there are no absolutes |
|
Our objections have no meaning |
|
Birds will learn to talk for treats |
|
Flipper laughed and danced to please and avoid electrocution |
|
Pavlov's dogs would drool if they could hear their chiming cue |
|
Just like them we've been conditioned |
|
Feeling numb |
|
Half asleep |
|
Being trained |
|
We're just like sheep |
|
Going dumb |
|
We never speak |
|
So well trained |
|
The truth we never seek |
