The Reformation

They're selling crutches that make you limp
they soothe and relax your mental grip.
Such a trick has lead you to this awful place
and such a trick can't bear to see you leave.

Some have a hole they've dug
some have a mast they hug
their post or their station
no reformation
no reformation, none
as long as the drill gets done
as long as the taste gets tongue
over and over and over and over
over and over and over and over
over and over and over and over
and out.

They're selling lollipops to the grown ups
who get down to the stick and find they're licked.
Such a trick has lead you to this awful place
and such a trick can't bear to see you leave.

Some have a badge they wear
some have a flag they bear
status or nation no reformation
no reformation, none
as long as the drill gets done
as long as the taste gets tongue
over and over and over and over
over and over and over and over
over and over and over and over
and out.
