look at how they've washed your brain
down the info t.v. drain
you're back before you ever came
to find out what you need

you try too hard, you try too soft
you're afraid of getting lost
as impostor number one
you left your record out in the sun
all the signs of life aren't clear and straight and always right

our ideas of perfect are so imperfect

love doesn't pay attention to
the metal teeth of ugly rules
he was everybody's fool
for squandering his love on her

Thomas when you told the truth
they electrocuted you
I'll pick up my zero and follow through
the perfect power world
