Touch the grey
You are told you may
Then file back in line
Hold the gold
You are always told
Is worth all of your time
Hypnotized, you materialize
Within their big machine
Then realize this is not the life
Lived through the tv screen
Try to build your mind all on your own
Redefine all that is thought as known
Race towards the big rewards
Of power, fame, and wealth
Neglect to feed your body's need
Of pleasure, love, and health
Cut through the bullshit, hurry up and fax it
The deal has been sealed with a check
Your blood has been sold; now you're too old
To lose the collar from around your neck
I try to find a peace within myself
A special place made for no one else
... What they place in your mind
Is your reality
What they find in your mind
Is their property...
Try to find a piece within yourself
A special place survived by no one else
Touch the grey
You are told you may
Then file back in line
Hold the gold
You are always told
Is worth all of your time
Hypnotized, you materialize
Within their big machine
Then realize this is not the life
Lived through the tv screen
Try to build your mind all on your own
Redefine all that is thought as known
Race towards the big rewards
Of power, fame, and wealth
Neglect to feed your body's need
Of pleasure, love, and health
Cut through the bullshit, hurry up and fax it
The deal has been sealed with a check
Your blood has been sold; now you're too old
To lose the collar from around your neck
I try to find a peace within myself
A special place made for no one else
... What they place in your mind
Is your reality
What they find in your mind
Is their property...
Try to find a piece within yourself
A special place survived by no one else
