They never turn the cameras on
The guards and the narcs went home
"They do a fine enough job on their own"
Oh, they'd love if you could find it
Makes you much less hard work to predict
One of these label's bound to fit
Just try something that you wouldn't do
And it's always one step ahead of you
No one knows you like yourself
In the presence of a licensee
The cathedral in the prison
Where the dreams of a citizen
Can only tell you what is wrong with them
The engine of civilization
Found no better means of revolt yet
Maybe we're all far too well
A less pathetic cry for help
There's no higher virtue held
It's more than a little bit absurd
For the true endeavor of your soul
To find the edge and baby, go, go, go
Run, baby, run, baby, run, baby, run
The one regret that's really pretty tough
Is knowing I didn't go nearly far enough
This dream we're born inside
Feels awful real sometimes
But it's all in your mind
