[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Open your eyes and turn off your mind
Step right up, folks, and you will find (Step right up, folks)
A growing trend, an epidemic
Spread with zen and hypodermics, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Just close your mind
You can find all you need with your eyes
[Chorus]
The big machines take care of you, until you kill yourself
And then the sales go through the roof, calculated, formulated
Feed my head with simple thoughts and let me breathe instead of being taught
All bottled up and tearing at the seams, I'm bored, just let me breathe
[Verse 2]
A daily dose of “eMpTyV”
Will flush your mind right down the drain
Shannon Hoon and Kurt Cobain
Make yourself a household name, yeah-eah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Just close your mind
You can find all you need with your eyes
[Chorus]
The big machines take care of you, until you kill yourself
And then the sales go through the roof, calculated, formulated
Feed my head with simple thoughts and let me breathe instead of being taught
All bottled up and tearing at the seams, I'm bored, just let me breathe
[Bridge]
Strike up your best angst ridden posture, whoa
Manufactured anger, ah
Let's not forget my legacy
All my heroes have failed me
Now they're dead and buried, yeah
[Keyboard Solo]
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
Just close your mind
You can find all you need with your eyes
[Outro]
The big machines will take care of you
Until the fashion fades
And the checks go through
My bankroll's red and my face is blue
And still they'll turn their backs on you for someone new
Feed my head with some real thoughts
And let me think instead of being taught
I'll say things you won't believe
Just stand back, just let me breathe!
